Historically, the main reason for us creating the frags was because of the platforms (eg, Ubuntu) adding lots of config options that weren't in the defconfig.

Yes. Config fragments just allow for a distribution to have a consistent config policy for non-hardware specific configs (ie: cgroups, debug options, filesystem support, etc) on an array of different architectures and hardware platforms.
