That change affects Oracle because they update and modify the kernel.
Since it's not pristine + patches like other SRPMs, Oracle has a moving
target and may need to manually fix each of the patches that they apply.
CentOS simply rebuilds the package, and I'm reasonably certain that I
recall statements from the CentOS maintainers that Red Hat's changes
don't affect their process. I don't think your argument holds water.
