Setting up a build system can be a bitch. Not every developer needs to be able to build every obscure module of all your companies tooling. A .net developer shouldn't have to rebuild c++ boost just because he relies on a small native dll. In some cases the tooling of one developer can even conflict with the one of another, one requires python 2.7 to be in your PATH while the other requires 3.3, etc. I fully agree that it should be easy to set up but the reality is different, especially when you deal with legacy, rely on third party libraries or build open source projects from source.
