The Appenders used by the AsyncAppender are known at configuration time. So starting and stopping them in conjunction when the configuration is initialized makes sense (and makes managing them easier). The Appenders created by the RoutingAppender are dynamic - the number of them and their configuration is not completely known at configuration time. They are created based upon the events that are being processed. This makes managing them a bit harder.
Note that when FileConfigurationMonitor detects a configuration change it starts a new Thread to perform the reconfiguration, so I am not sure what you are hoping to gain by configuring Appenders asynchronously.
