It was presumably not expected - but for the simple reason that no
kernel developer should spend one single second worrying about
out-of-tree modules.
It's simply not a concern - never has been, and never will be.
Now, if some out-of-tree module is on the cusp of being integrated,
and is out-of-tree just because it's not quite ready yet, that would
maybe be then a case of "hey, wait a second".
But no. We are not going to start any kind of feature test macros for
external modules in general.
