Hello,

This is a keyword.

This is an attribute.

These are two different things, so there is no real reason to make them
look like each other. Also, and more importantly, moving OPTIONS to the
other syntax is, IMO, unreadable:

  #+OPTIONS: :| t :^ nil :* t :\n t

Note there is also another syntax type, e.g.,:

 #+TOC: headlines 2
