Why do techs recommend YUM installs yet repositories and providers are ages behind?

I have been reading page after page after page about the benefits of using YUM package installer and how NOBODY should built installs from source files (which again makes no sense to me) yet the repositories and source builders always package files in Tarball format, leaving a TON of work (which usually ends up going wrong) to the individual instead of formatting SRPMs for the end user.

Has the world gone mad? I feel like I am taking crazy pills!
