That's the problem with any change to distutils, the API is unclear and that causes any change to be potentially breaking for existing users. That's why distutils has been mostly stagnant for years.

I have no particular wish w.r.t. changing behaviour, I've a local workaround for now and am hoping someone will write a tool similar to flit for packages that include extensions.
