Btw, thus far libc++ has tended to make the opposite choice: for example, libc++ defines `__cpp_lib_variant == 202102` in all modes, because the programmer conceivably might be depending on that macro to make some decision, so we want to make sure it reflects the specific semantics that we implement.  (For `__cpp_binary_literals` specifically, I agree it doesn't really matter because nobody's going to be making decisions based on the value of this macro.)
