Honestly, it's mainly because it's not clear how to set it as an autoconf option while obeying their guidelines. See https://autotools.io/autoconf/arguments.html That doesn't fit the --enable/disable (it's not enabling a feature) or --with/without (it's not acting on an external dependency) paradigms. In this respect, environment variables seem "fair game".
