That is true. However, there's a problem; you can control package options of individual packages with USE flags, but you can't control compilation switches of individual packages with CFLAGS. This will naturally make people feel like using USE flags to modify compilation options is a good idea.
Surely, one has to sympathize with this mindset even though it's a wrong thing to do.
