As describe in the help string, the user might want to disable these tests if they don't like to see stacktraces/BUG etc in their kernel log.
However, if they enable PANIC_ON_OOPS, these tests also crash the machine, which it's safe to assume _almost_ nobody wants. One might argue that _absolutely_ nobody ever wants their kernel to crash so this should just be a hard dependency instead of a default. However, since this is rather special code that's anyway concerned with deliberately doing "bad" things, the normal rules don't seem to apply, hence prefer flexibility and allow users to set up a crashing Kconfig if they so choose.
