It was an attempt to keep the change more self-contained, and since
UPDATE_HORIZON_CONFIG existed, it seemed reasonable to use it. It meant
that all the configuration regarding the visibility of the panel was in one
place, and since it's expected that deployers edit enabled files, I guess
your concern stated above didn't come into it.
I'm ambivalent about the change you propose, would be OK going either way
