I suspect it's not so you feel cool, but because it means the program doesn't need a parser for config files, and because it's more flexible.

parserless configuration is easily achieved with stuff like envdir:

That just parses environment variables, instead of files.

Not to mention that it's yet another dependency, which is another thing that's avoided by doing configuration through a header file.
