I was wondering the same thing and found the explanation
here:

I agree. In fact, pg_stat_activity will behave differently (using
merged query_ids) if this value is turned on, for which you need the
contrib module. This makes no sense to me.
Besides, the patch cheats in this regard: what Dmitry did was
create a function SetQueryIdConstMerge() which the extension with the
GUC can call to set the value of the variable. I really don't see that
this is better. I think we should put the GUC back where it was in v15
of the patch. (I didn't check what other changes there were
afterwards.)
About the GUC name -- query_id_const_merge -- I think this is too much a
hacker's name. How about
query_id_merge_values
query_id_merge_value_lists
query_id_squash_constant_lists
