This type is being used on purpose for compatibility with both ESLint v8 and v9, as in the v8 types Linter.Config is an alias for the Linter.LegacyConfig whereas in v9 it's an alias for Linter.FlatConfig.

The type is deprecated only in v9, and it's usage will be replaced when support for ESLint v8 is dropped (which currently is not planned).
