It's actually worse than you state ... some of them are checked just fine by rpm/rpmlint, and so don't need to be checked at all. eg: rpmlint checks the License field is valid and rpm checks that there are no duplicate files in %files, so both of those are unnecessary. rpmlint could check a whole lot more too, eg. upstream URL exists, source matches tarball, all the pkgconfig stuff, all the ldconfig stuff, %doc includes license, license matches source, etc etc (not that I'm volunteering to do all that work).
