Because trying to be clever and special with build systems is a bad way to
make a build system. Distributions will dislike you and it's much less
likely that they'd like to package your software.
If I were to find any problem with the build system of your project, I
would stop looking the moment I find the silly "build" directory, and
decide that it's not worth packaging at all.
Don't be special, don't be clever. Use out-of-tree build if you want and
behave consistently with other projects.
