I guess you're right. Personally, I tend to start my journeys in self
compiled kernel land by using something I know that works as a starting
point. Ie, I use some distribution's kernel, notice that things seem to
mostly work, and use the .config of that kernel to start exploring
whatever it is I'm interested in. I can't remember ever feeling the urge
to use some defconfig to start these journeys.
