If we're going to go down this road, it should be

BuildRequires: /usr/bin/pkg-config

That's what's required for the dep generator to work, too.

And what is wrong with just "BuildRequires: pkgconfig"?
Don't you see that this forces dependencies resolution to use packages files list?
IIRC Fedora already had policy to not use paths in BRs.

[tkloczko@domek SPECS]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/pkg-config
pkgconf-pkg-config-1.6.1-1.fc31.x86_64
[tkloczko@domek SPECS]$ rpm -q --whatprovides pkgconfig
pkgconf-pkg-config-1.6.1-1.fc31.x86_64
