The reason Ansible is used is because we have no current equivalent facilities to do delayed script execution or diversion of configuration files. Both are functions required for Debian-style configuration packages. Feel free to file an issue with rpm upstream[1] to figure out a good way to support configuration packages if you want it. On the flip side, because these facilities haven't existed for so long and the RPM ecosystem largely rejected interactive script hooks in RPMs, most packages ship with "working defaults" and are trivially reconfigurable through external automation tools, which is why mass provisioning and configuration management systems work so well for RPM based systems.
