Plenty of webdev doesn't (or at least didn't, once upon a time) involve build systems at all - with that in mind, why would a webdev need to know? Even now, what use does a frontend developer have for C++ build rules arcana when they don't even touch the language? And how many thousands of lines of msbuild rules have you written? Are you sure you're a build systems expert? :P
Granted, I'm going to be extra thorough in a code review request from a webdev dabbling in C++. Similarly, I'd hope those same webdevs would be extra thorough in reviewing my dabblings in JavaScript. Programmers have different specializations - nothing wrong with that, properly supported. Some sacrifice breadth for depth, or vicea versa, and there's nothing wrong with those choices either.
