ConfigFormBase submitForm() does not auto save fields based on field name in the submit handler.

This was a "feature" in D7 where fields auto saved to variables based on their name.

Do we plan to continue this in D8 and it was overlooked/unprioritized or do we plan to force developers to code their own submit handlers to save configuration settings?

There is no plan to support this, and the fact that is not done right now is not a bug. Feel free to open a feature request for this, but it will probably not happen.

Config structure is more complex than variables where, saving as-is is in many cases not the desired result.
