RPM uses macros instead of envvars to increase reproducibility of builds.

How rpm is configured, and how rpmbuild is invoked, are matters that you need to take up with build systems. That would also be true if envvar's were used instead of macros.

Note that there is (or at least was) a 3rd way to change macros to load while building, using a macro files directive in rpmrc configuration. I dunno whether that mechanism is still supported or recommended.

In summary, you now have 3 mechanisms, 2 of which permit patterns, to customize rpmbuild to taste.

You need to address further questions with build system maintainers, not rpm.
