I guess because it doesn't make sense to update the recipe when only the source tarball changes.

That's litteraly any source-based distro. I'm running crux myself, and the tarballs get downloaded/extracted and compiled in /usr/src. This process usually happens automatically, but it's pretty easy to edit the source by hand before building the package (I had to do it before and it was painless).

That's the strenghts of a simple build system like what you get on crux.
