There is actually a very good reason: Not only is sm83 the actual name of the CPU core in use, but additionally, multiple targets, including gbz80/sm83, got a new default calling convention with 4.2.0 that results in more efficient code. While more efficient code is practically always desirable, the new default calling convention means that people have to touch the build parameters, anyway, because otherwise inline assembly might result in silent generation of bad code. Changing both at the same time means that people immediately notice that something has changed. They can then choose to either insert a calling convention override switch on the command line or adapt their inline assembly code.
