is_mptcp is a field from struct tcp_sock used to indicate that the current tcp_sock is part of the MPTCP protocol.
In this protocol, a first socket (mptcp_sock) is created with sk_protocol set to IPPROTO_MPTCP (=262) for control purpose but it isn't directly on the wire. This is the role of the subflow (kernel) sockets which are classical tcp_sock with sk_protocol set to IPPROTO_TCP. The only way to differentiate such sockets from plain TCP sockets is the is_mptcp field from tcp_sock. Such an exposure in BPF is thus required to be able to differentiate plain TCP sockets from MPTCP subflow sockets in BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCK_OPS programs. The choice has been made to silently pass the case when CONFIG_MPTCP is unset by defaulting is_mptcp to 0 in order to make BPF independent of the MPTCP configuration. Another solution is to make the verifier fail in 'bpf_tcp_sock_is_valid_ctx_access' but this will add an additional '#ifdef CONFIG_MPTCP' in the BPF code and a same injected BPF program will not run if MPTCP is not set.
