Because clang is the default compiler for R on MacOS. So you would make it 
difficult for other people (let alone CRAN) to make use of the package. 
However, I think there is something wrong about your macOS machine. I have just 
tried to compile your package on a macOS machine that I have access to, and I 
got quite different results:

$ R CMD INSTALL bambi_1.0.tar.gz 
* installing to library 
‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library’
* installing *source* package ‘bambi’ ...
** libs
/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang++ -std=gnu++11 
-I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include -DNDEBUG -I../inst/include/ 
-I"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library/Rcpp/include" 
-I/usr/local/include   -fPIC  -Wall -g -O2 -c RcppExports.cpp -o RcppExports.o
/usr/local/clang4/bin/clang++ -std=gnu++11

-I"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library/Rcpp/include" 
-I/usr/local/include   -fPIC  -Wall -g -O2 -c bambi.cpp -o bambi.o
bambi.cpp:7:14: fatal error: 'bam_lmdb.h' file not found
    #include "bam_lmdb.h"
             ^~~~~~~~~~~~

make: *** [bambi.o] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘bambi’
* removing 
‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library/bambi’

I had not installed the necessary C library, so unsurprisingly the compilation 
step already failed. What I find interesting is that in my case "-std=gnu++11“ 
and "-I../inst/include/" are present in the command line options for clang++. 
These are also missing from what you quoted and are also a consequence of 
src/Makevars. It almost looks as if this file got lost on your macOS box …

Greetings
