These two code snippets are exactly identical, so removing the redundant code is reasonable. As can be seen from the contextual comments, this is not a performance-critical path either, so we don’t need to worry about the performance overhead caused by function calls. I also checked the changes made in commit dd299df, which essentially does the same thing for the function _bt_getrootheight.
