For a long time, GCC didn't support in-tree builds. I think this, plus
the convenience of being able to do multiple builds from a single source
tree, or clean a build by "rm -rf", contributed to its adoption.

I don't mind .gitignore files listing build artifacts.
It is unlikely to break anything and I am not likely to notice anyhow :-)
