Because I have a strong opinion about this. Also to prevent people
from running into this who are not that experienced in making things
work.

It's not nice to introduce this, then people start packaging some new
piece of software they want to throw on the aur, but which no one
cared to build with -j yet and they would check their build trees
again and again and spent amounts of time on this similar to me to
figure out what was going on - all while a manual build just worked
for them. Garbage error messages, huge autohell pains, and all because
of mr. brain0.

cheers!
