Those are programs which are expected to be in default search PATH. I
would not expect "make", "rm" and "install" to be stored in any special
location. I would not expect that %{__make} expands to something different
than "make" in PATH. So, what these macros do is they create a superfluous
dependency on their definition on the package "rpm" and "redhat-rpm-config".
And they cause syntax-highlighting to colour them like variables instead
of executables.

But sure it does.
%description
%{summary}.
can make sense. I could think of other examples.
