That is primarily because of the UX differences between three maintained
versions of GnuPG: 2.0, 2.1, and 1.x. GnuPG 2.0 does not provide a way
to prompt passphrase without GUI, but others do. Some people are fine
with 2.0 as they use Emacs on a graphical environment only, but other
people are not.
So, we really need to take account of user's intention here; check
whether the variable set by user or it is the default value. With
'setq' it is not possible to have such distinction.
