This is nonsense, sorry. It's no stranger than a KDE-user wanting to
recompile kwrite or krita.

For example, I'm involved with the GIMP project (GIMP is an image
editor), but I don't want to compile my own gnome, not all of it, so I
have enough of the -devel packages to compile just what I need (libbabl,
libgegl and gimp, basically). I currently need the .la files so that
configure and libtool will find them, since I'm building in a private
prefix, not overwriting the system gnome of course... although that need
for .la files may change in the future.
Successful Linux distributions have communities of developers around
them developing applications. It's not only about high priests of Linux
and "users" who don't compile anything... :)
