By a search, Gentoo accounts for less than 1% of all developers. If uv-build is more conformant to people, probably volunteers (and if they're using it, it probably is), I don't think the Gentoo people have any right to want them not to use it because it makes their lives harder. They can request, and they do request nicely, but they also present the drawbacks for them as if they are absolute, and even claim that "its benefits don’t outweigh the drawbacks".
