The point is not that one requires (many) tools to build a project, the
problem is that tools like f.e. composer make it unclear to the user
what exactly is being pulled from where and for what reason and whether
the pulled sources are being verified with checksums. Just providing a
text with a set of requirements and urls makes it much easier for the
user to verify the sources. It's about transparency.
