I don't think it does either, but this one is special since it recently
underwent a rename, which breaks its users that were setting the old
name in their config builds. The default y keeps it set in those
cases, thereby discontinuing any such regression.

The driver should only run given a replicator in the device tree; if
that's not the case, then that's another problem, and orthogonal to
this one.
