Hyrum's Law applies. With little tools like Kconfig, once they get into reasonably widespread use, implementation details get a point where people depend on them. There's not much incentive to fix the inputs because the code is lenient and finding all the "wrong" usages is hard. On the flip side, changing the parsers to be more strict gets pushback because of the potential for breakages.
