Hmmm. Maybe I did not ask the question properly. See below.

Yes, it looks better, but (since the masks are all 1 bit) I was only
asking why not do like:
if (supported_opts & SUBOPT_CONNECT)
if (supported_opts & SUBOPT_ENABLED)
if (supported_opts & SUBOPT_SLOT_NAME)
if (supported_opts & SUBOPT_COPY_DATA)

I have no strong opinion about it. It seems a trade off between having
a goal of "code consistency", versus "if it aint broke don't fix it".
