I guess the "more obvious" part simply depends on what you're used to. The

it to not just be shorter, but also "more obvious", exactly because I've 
seen it before.

Of course, the behaviour of 'default y' is much simpler (and _much_ more 
common!) for a bool than for a tristate, and the rules for tristate logic 
in general are obviously often a bit non-intuitive considering that we're 
almost always used to the binary kind, and then the fact that Kconfgi uses 
ternary logic has caused no end of hiccups.
