From the original post: Why do they even ask if it does not matter?
I think the answer given in post #2 is the most likely real reason it is still on the form.
TSA ought to be asking for information that either helps them determine if you can be trusted or helps them identify you when you are in the security line. The question certainly doesn't help with the former and allowing the answer to be based on preference rather than physical identity makes the answer useless for the latter.
If the question does not provide any information useful for PreCheck qualifications or identification then it is useless and should be removed.
