What else? Self-compiling on a system you already consider outdated?:)

Binary packages are more important on systems that we consider old,

you nail it.. actually older or slower systems need binary things. 
Imagine compiling everything on an Raspberry!
The same goes for older laptops, embedded systems, etc, etc

I see that on SPARC systems where we don't have many packages and 
building stuff myself needs quite some time.
