There's no particular reason it couldn't be used for regular packages.
The only reason it's not done is because of convention. It's certainly
workable, but as fedpkg doesn't yet support that workflow, it's a bit
more manual.
Ah, please don't take me wrong, I'm not opposing that. Just hinting why the wiki page might look confusing.
I think I saw a way to submit a traditional RPM build from a different branch by specifying the target manually.
