In the past, connection-local-*-alist were simple variables. Then they
have been converted to user options, see etc/NEWS:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*** Some connection-local variables are now user options.
The variables 'connection-local-profile-alist' and
'connection-local-criteria-alist' are now user options, in order to
make it more convenient to inspect and modify them.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And that's the reason behind.

I won't call the Tramp settings "hacked connection local alist variables".
They are useful defaults.

Best regards, Michael.
