The sources are compiled right on the users' systems as opposed to binary distros where the sources are - usually - compiled by the distro who then provides pre-built binary packages to their users. One of the main differences concerning the issue at hand is that as a consequence built-time dependencies matter for users, so build everything and discard what you don't want causes more overhead than for a distributor who's probably going to have a use for the binaries that are excluded from a udev- only package. A Gentoo/LFS/etc. user who doesn't opt for systemd will need to satisfy the build deps for no benefit just to get udev.
