Because you can't limit yourself to analysing components separately.
The distribution itself is an aggregate work that is subject to
copyright laws as a whole.

In a distribution context since yum or anaconda will always choose to
install foo with GPLv3 samba you can't handwave "there was a GPLv2
samba on the buildsys". That's not what users get through pour
distribution. And it's not mere aggregation since one links to the
other.
