I shifted from poli sci to an individually-designed major at my undergrad university, back in the 70’s. My reasons were entirely different, mostly to do with the internal politics of the department and lack of flexibility… so I just felt more at home in the umbrella department for the interdisciplinary majors. I never gave it much thought after that – I was much happier with the freedom I had in my individual major, so in the end I think it was a great choice. I also ended up having a great relationship with the prof who was my advisor for the independent major.
