"Make is fine, but it’s not standard. Disturbingly large swathes of critical open source infrastructure are compiled using a hodgepodge of Make, autogenerated rules from autotools..." 1. Autotools use make. GNU make, but make. 2. There's a historical reason for this goofiness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_wars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_wars "Companies should be paying for this directly: if pyca/cryptography actually broke on HPPA or IA-64, then HP or Intel or whoever should be forking over money to get it fixed or using their own horde of engineers to fix it themselves." If pyca/cryptography breaks on HPPA or whatever, it's pyca's problem, not HPs or Intels. Unless your project is big enough that you already have HP or Intel working on it.
