The meaning of any one USE flag varies widely across packages. I could never say "I want to enable USE=gstreamer" for every package in the tree, because I have no idea what it does for most of them. Setting USE=whatever globally essentially means "make random changes to my system" -- hence my wording. The meaning of a USE flag is per-package, so per-package is the only meaningful way to set them.
