I don't think there are written style rules on this point, but there is a
large body of existing text using both forms (for Pq in particular), and
we're unlikely to get anywhere close to consolidation.

For the other quotes (Dq, Sq, etc.) I agree with you --it makes more sense
to care about Dq and Sq than Pq, since the rendering of Pq is unlikely to
change, no matter what output format the mdoc is being compiled to.
