Since it is surfaced as a property, users expect that "settings list" returns a proper value. ClangModulesDeclVendor is only initialized once a Target exists. Xcode may also use this property to set the module cache path and initializing the property later than at LLDB initialization time could create a race condition.
ClangModulesDeclVendor also isn't the only user of the property. The Swift Plugin also needs to know it and I'd like to avoid duplicating the code.
