I guess it is the side effect of using a single clean build system like osc. It saves work - everyone builds against the exactly same, clean system. Less time is wasted finding bugs which depend on a specific system the package was build on. And less time is wasted making packages build in a variety of circumstances: only one matters (OBS).
That means building outside of osc gets harder, yes. The work is basically shifted from all the packagers to those few who don't (want to) use osc.
SUSE packages have always been built this way (even before it was called OBS), so this is hardly a new thing.
