There should be. It makes more information available to the Ccompiler, and it makes useful symbols available to the debugger.
_Bool is a native C type; it has all the information the C compilerneeds.
"#define true 1" however does not.

I guess that's fair, although when you put it into a type _Bool they'regoing to devolve to pure constants.
