I bet that's because in modern world it is hard to explain the rationale
for creating yet another build tool. Not impossible, but hard, and to me
Bazel fails to provide that explanation - I don't see anything unique in it.

Maybe the BUILD file syntax? It looks like translating them into SCons
should be easy with patched CMake -> SConstruct converter. And how builds
will differ in that case?
