Imagine your wanting to get some new flash feature (doesn't require 
compiler change) by just adding druntime/phobos as a dependency via dub.
You don't really want to recompile the assembly/c stuff that almost 
definitely hasn't changed.

Not many people may want to do that. But it should be reasonable to do so.
But this is mostly a Windows issue then posix. There its pretty well 
defined. Windows ergg.
