Packagers don't want to a full rebuild of huge packages just to test just even the most minor change made etc. And regardless of usage, it's not rpm's job to dictate and enforce such policies in rather futile attempts to prevent "abuse" within it's world where the user has far worse thing they can do ie. just within the spec. For dictating policies and such, it's better left to tools like rpmlint..
