Yeah sure. Try building anything more complex than helloworld.c with a build.sh
More complex build systems are just build.sh calling other build.sh in different configurations and using different software. It's build.sh all the way down.
The point is that "build.sh" implies a single file, which becomes an absolute nightmare to maintain on larger projects
