Perfect is in the eye of the beholder. You would consequently have to

Kconfig is a user interface, so perfect is what is best for the
kconfig users.
Duplicate options with different names in different menus, but which all
do the same, --- is this the best for users?
I recognize it's a rhetorical question :) The answer is of course "no".
I hope the other participants of this thread register the severe
disinclination of the maintainers to change this stuff, as this is a
classic case of making a mountain out of a molehill[1].
For the -vast majority- of people configuring the kernel, this is not a
problem. Kernel people are -expected- to know what they're doing,
especially when switching from one major subsystem to another.
Therefore, all this is IMO wasted effort and hot air. There are far
more important issues to deal with.
