This looks more like office politics than technical decisions:

Instead of having a single, unified, build system for the series 5 devices, it looks like they have a different "lead person" for each model and each model is supported by its own build system.
Evidently, each "lead person" lives in a different country and they all speak different languages (if they even try to speak to each other before a release).
Jeff "D.A." Bezos at work (again).
