It's because the objective is to have as few build systems as
necessary. This is an obvious first step and has been a stated goal
for more than a year. I'm surprised that you're surprised.

Let's just make an external contrib repo and keep all the autotools
files there. Then Emil and company can continue having fun maintaining
autotools and all you'll need to do is rsync into the Mesa repo to use
autotools.
