It's not "business logic", it's "build logic".

Your criticism applies equally to non-build code. Don't approve PRs for bad/inscrutable code.

In gradle you can build plugins just like maven. But a simple 'if then' doesn't require all the heavy lifting of a plugin.

But code is where logic goes. People expect logic there. It's the same objection as to logic/conditionals/looping in web templates, or routing config files, or persistence object mappers. If it's logic, it belongs in code!
