Ugh. I'm so sick of the open source communities' disdain for binaries. There's no reason we should be recompiling shit everywhere. It's a waste of time, headspace, and processing power.
When you're trying to support multiple architectures and OSes and your ABI took a decade or two to settle down, and all your tools are open-source so you have the source anyways, I can see the instinct to just say "I'll just compile it against the target machine" even if it's absurdly wasteful.
