Note that with:

no python binding subpackage is built.
bcond_with => conditionally build WITH support - condition being: specified using --with on the command line (or prj conf overrides)
While with:
%bcond_without protobuf_python
bcond_without ==> conditionally build WITHOUT support - condition, as above.
As they are nicely if'ed, only one should be ever used to declare the default behaviou
Is this a specific double negative logic implementation in protobuf.spec, or is bcond always used with a double negative type logic.
bcond_* is generally misunderstood. *_with does not mean DEFAULT WITH, but on CONDITIONALLY_WITH (as said: conditions can come from CLI, see osc build --with/--without) or could be overruled by prjconf in OBS directly)
I think I got it: bcond_with rob_bank means there is no way I'm going to rob a bank unless someone is pointing a gun at my head. I definitely agree with messy. I'd go as far as saying it is one of the most obtuse syntax'es I have seen. I guess it makes sense to someone.
