In my spec files, I use %cmake, %cmake_build and %cmake_install.
A priori, I now that I must add BuildRequires cmake but I don't now the details 
of the macro. So, I don't now if the %cmake macro is tuned to build a ninja or 
a make project.
I think the cmake should ship a minima the build tools used by the %cmake macro.

That argument doesn't hold much water. CMake always requires a
backend, and right now it hard-requires make.
Until that's no longer the case, adding BR: make to packages already
having BR: cmake is just a waste of time.
If I can't be sure of *anything*, then wouldn't I have to add the
entire expected dependency tree as BRs?, down to glibc and filesystem?
