This question is twisted.
There is no need for a .src.rpm when you don't embed the build rules into it. 
However, that only makes sense for distributions that have a package maintainer 
for the software, creates a source package with all build options and 
distribution adaptions.

See it as a special format to help implement build infrastructure tools.
