In the pep it's stated tools can use the tool section
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/#id28 and at no point says build
tools only. So I don't think at all strange that towncrier uses it. It
follows the words of the pep quite rigourously.

I don't consider building from source a niche use case per se, given that
pip is most widely adopted PEP-517/518 build frontend. What other build
frontends there are or are to be recommended for usage (with
setuptools/flint/poetry being mostly backends)?
