I apparently haven't explained myself enough, because what you keep on harping on is not something I consider acceptable.
STD_CONFIG is pointless. It's pointless because the solution to what you call STD_CONFIG would be to just NOT USING the special Kconfig.xyz file at all.
So when I suggest special Kconfig files, they are meant to just generate the templates - ie they'd _generate_ what is currently the defconfig files. You wouldn't _have_ to use them at all.
If you _had_ to use them, you'd lose the flexibility of Kconfig and asking questions.
