The above uses \ifdefined, which is from e-TeX. But LaTeX requires e-TeX since

quote from ltnews:

As of the January 2017
release of LATEX2e, e-TEX is required to build the format,
and attempting to build a format without the extensions
will fail.

For much longer major TeX distributions incorporated e-TeX extensions in 
pdflatex binary anyhow

Extract from TeXLive doc, entry for year 2004:

pdfetex is now the default engine for all formats except (plain) tex itself. 
(Of course it generates
DVI when run as latex, etc.) This means, among other things, that the 
microtypographic features
of pdftex are available in LATEX, ConTEXt, etc., as well as the e-TEX features

Best,
