Sure or you just recognize that only one system in a million needs refclock support and assume anyone running a refclock needs to be smart enough to build ntpd with the requisite driver.
However, many of my users who use PPS or other ref-clocks run Windows, and they do not have either the required tools or skills to recompile. The compiler alone is a 1 GB download.
These days a slightly larger executable including the ref-clocks is a very small inconvenience compared to having to rebuild. Another issue is the time taken to rebuild - you are looking at nearly an hour on the Raspberry Pi, for example.
