There's a lot more you can do inside a snapcraft.yaml (bundle external
files, override .config options, run pre or post scripts, etc) but by
embedding everything inside the kernel/kbuild plugins
you would loose all these options, and people would loose visibility
of these opportunities.

Besides, snapcraft requires a snapcraft.yaml by design, and i can't
remove that (such a change would never be accepted).
