History reason. I guess.

I recall that 15 years ago, few maintainers I spoke with were proud of design of spec
files that everything is in one 
file in declarative way (hence the tags). This was opposed to debian way - one debian/
directory with bunch of files.

This dogma was already broken with `changelog` files and specparts.

Therefore I would hesitate to say that RH is not willing to change anything.
