Well, there are, especially with that extra requirement:

The additional code complexity acts as a deterrent for people who may want
to rework the detection in depth (for example to implement --enable-auto, an
option several users have shown an interest for), and the "play nice"
requirement means they can not just hack the annoying code away and get to
work.
Furthermore, the fallbacks would make the whole process slower with
--enable-auto. For something completely useless ("install pkg-config is
almost always a simpler solution, and even when it is not enough, reasonably
simple solutions exist), that makes a lot of drawbacks.
I intend to object any kind of fallback that get in the way like that,
because they get in the way. I have a few ideas on how to make a fallback
that does not get in the way, but I expect that they will be silently
ignored again.
