2) fedpkg would not be needed if rpmbuild would be sanely able to do
something like `fedpkg --release master srpm` but even so basic think
requires either shuffling with files on FS or specifying million of
working directories. I really don't understand why this was never improved.

Actually, this can be improved very easy in $HOME/.rpmmacros. I use
this:
%_topdir      %(echo $HOME)/build
%_sourcedir   %{_topdir}/SOURCES/%{name}
%_specdir     %{_sourcedir}
%_srcrpmdir   %{_rpmdir}

Yup. If you prefer working in a dist-git like layout, just configure rpm do behave that way. One possibility is simply:

%_topdir        %{getenv:PWD}
%_sourcedir     %{_topdir}
%_specdir       %{_topdir}
%_srcrpmdir     %{_topdir}
%_builddir      %{_topdir}

..and perhaps %_buildrootdir as well. And then just "mkdir foo; cd foo" when starting a new package.

The reasons that rpm doesn't default to this directory per source package layout include
- there are cases where this doesn't work so well
- it'd invalidate 20+ years of documentation on the subject
- nobody has sat down to figure how to transition the existing assumptions to this type of layout without breaking everybodys setup in the progress
