> I don't quite understand why "embedded" has historically meant learning a completely separate tool.

Because historically, and I would argue should still, refer to very limited hardware, in terms of memory, processing power, and energy.

If you're sticking the Linux kernel into something you've already past the scale this should require a separate build system to accomplish.

I guess this was just so true everyone found it uninteresting like saying water is wet eh?
