Some of the modules do, some don't. Some watchdogs can't even tell if
the hardware is installed until you actually access it. Hardware probing
is a mess.
And while I agree it's a problem, it's not something we can improve on
the Linux HA list - the upstream project for that would be Linux Kernel.

I'd even agree, but that's not my fight to fight ;-)
Since I always explicitly load the watchdog that matches my hardware
I've not run into this.
