All you are missing here is something like `make defconfig` (or
olddefconfig or nconfig etc.) and you should be set; nothing brain
dead here.
You can read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst for more information
about these targets, but mostly the reason for this is because the
available configurations change just like the rest of the kernel.
Bad Things? would happen if .config wasn't updated to reflect these
changes.
