It is simply because it is the end state that we want, i.e. both
Kconfig and source code to be in the usual folder (so less things to
move later), plus one normally wants the Kconfig options to show in
the right place in the menus.

I don't know, but it should be, indeed. That is what we have been
asking subsystems to do since the beginning (modulo exceptional
cases). Some take direct ownership, some request to have a maintainer
dedicated to that in the entry, some add a new sub-subsystem, etc.

I hope that clarifies.

Cheers,
