AFAIK this might not be true if other build systems not using setuptools

No, try
Sorry, I've been inprecise on this:
There might still be quite some packages out there importing plain, old
distutils (and not setuptools) in their setup.py. These are what I meant
with "other build systems not using setuptools". For these setup.py to
understand the options we (and pip) need for installation, "import
distutils" has to be hacked to actually become "import setuptools" -
which is what setuptools-shim does
