Since originally suggesting runtime as the interface name, some naming conventions have emerged elsewhere in WASI, in particular, having the interface names be nouns instead of adjectives. Also, wasi-keyvalue has wasi:keyvalue/store and there's a nice symmetry between that and wasi:config/store.
The original idea of runtime was to distinguish the runtime get lookup from a more declarative interface that allowed a component to statically enumerate the specific configuration values it needed as value imports. However, I think a "store" communicates this just as well and there are plenty of names left for declarative value imports.
