Because if you want to test it rapidly (check if it boots, check if everything if working properly) like i want to do, in the case of a pre-built package, i'll not lose two days to understand how to compile it and be sure that everything if correct !!! If anyone's on the list wants to build it, i'll test it very rapidly, and post a remark report (i'm using 9.1 for the moment), like this, i could see the difference between unpatched/patched. not evryone is a kernel gourou, but i can always tell you if i find something wrong, and hopefully it will be understandable so anoyone could file a bug to kernel's maintener's properly.
