The reasons for using buildtools are well understood: it's when the
host software (gcc, python) is too old to try to be compatible with.

Debian 11 is almost 5 years old at this point (one year older than
rhel 9) and goes EOL in just eight weeks. It also has a glibc version
that systemd explicitly does not support and fails to build with. I
think this fits the reasons.
