I'm not 100% sure that it is in the guidelines (I never found it). But I have
been told this so many times by different reviewers, that I took it as an
unwritten convention, or maybe it is so deeply hidden inside the guidelines
that nobody remembers where it is... or it is just a legend.

If it is an unwritten convention, sure, you don't have to obey it. But it would
be nice if you do.

side note: Another thing that I've been told many times to use in a very
specific unique way and that I couldn't find in the guidelines is
%defattr(-,root,root,-)

Well, strictly speaking, since %{name} has to be used in the BuildRoot, any
other usage will cause an inconsistency.
