The main purpose of makefiles is to make stuff, including building more
or less complex software-projects.
Even if a project of mine only has one source-file, I still write a
makefile to accomodate to common practice.
I won't stop you from writing shell-scripts, but I think it's really
stupid and a waste of time to do it.
If you don't know how to write portable makefiles, please don't start
ranting on this great system which has proven itself for decades.

Are there any reasons for it other than irrational ones?

I used to be a GPL-fanatic like you, but then I took an arrow to the
knee.
