 > They both should never have been added to that option in the first place

 That may be true, but that's how it is now, and has been for a long time.

 The migration tool was responsible for updating the key, but it didn't.
 What else did it do incorrectly? We don't know. That's one reason why I
 think WP should not attempt to fix it internally.

 It would hide broken migrations, and it might not even fix all the data
 that was missed by the tool. It would also add code to the hot path and
 penalize every correctly configured site just to accommodate tools that
 don't migrate the data correctly. It seems like a very small edge case.
