Perhaps it was because config.h was only available on autoconf generated builds in the past. The plDevs.h version must have been useful for windows and other builds. There was a lot of duplication like this in config.h and plConfig.h which I pruned out recently as well. With cmake the distinction has gone.
I can't think of any other likely reason. I'd go ahead and make the changes.
