I think one can say that it is very much like a carpenter building
wooden stairways. He doesn't start to rebuild the staircase in hes home
every time he have to build a staircase for a costumer. He probably
build them in a factory somewhere else.

BuildRoot is the factory and the rpm packages are the products ready for
shipping. Like in the above example, You dont want Your own system
altered. You want to build somewhere else.
