It allows you to do things like changing to build-dir and setup shell environment atomically - for example.

I did. They don't do so much. It's even not the same concept.
And - what is even more important: it is one tool, it does init and setup and much more - for the same thing.
It is much easier teach people one tool than teaching them pick the right out of 8.
