I remember we put some efforts into moving almost every patch-like "shtool
subst" construct into the %prep section to complement the %patch instructions.
Besides developer's convenience I do not see a reason why automated source
tweaking should be split and partially moved outside the %prep section.
Deferring substitions to the %build section sometimes inhibits repetitive
execution via "rpm --short-circuit" which means a shift would move the paint to
a different location with no real cure.
