Goes back to when the leagues were more truly separate entities whose teams never played each other. Albeit oddly the Cy Young was unified for its first decade and then became separated.

They are separated because NL teams play mostly NL teams and visa versa. Its an award based on the competition not theoretical.

So why do the NFL, NBA, and NHL have unitary awards?

MLB far older and had true league separation. The younger leagues put them together, but the choice is completely arbitrary. None of it actually matters.
