Just as an example - unit system needs to combine parts which are completely common (solved using common include files) with parts which are platform-specific (take e.g. the DirectorySeparator or LineEnding as examples). Sometimes there are differences at the target level, sometimes at platform level, sometimes it makes sense to use a common include file for a set of targets sharing a common set of characteristics (various MS Windows targets or Unix targets) in order to simplify the maintenance, etc. Trying to cover that in one common place would result in something completely unreadable and unmaintainable - actually much worse compared to the current situation.
