It doesn't mean that you can't override it. And if "make oldconfig" doesn't take the _old_ setting into account over the new one, there's something wrong. Of course, if there is no actual question, "default" ends up being what it always chosen (because no explicit choice is allowed), but in this case we're talking about: bool "Macintosh device drivers" which definitely has that question.
