The retrieval process is more fiddly and it's not standardised across different deb-based distributions. You might also want the output to be more structured than just one long build log - for example binutils splits up the results by architecture. The maintainer clearly thought it was more convenient to bundle the test results in the binary package, than to look them up on the buildd web interface - so just saying "don't do it" isn't a very user-friendly approach.
