While I'm not MAMEdev and can't speak for the team, I think I've got a pretty decent handle on this one (and I imagine they'll tell me to shut up if not.)
It's an artificial barrier. If you're smart enough to be able to compile the U builds, you're smart enough to put together a proper bug report.
Additionally, they never said others couldn't post U-builds. They've just chosen not to provide U-builds themselves so as to limit support requests from people who clearly won't bother to read any of the disclaimers-- who, coincidentally, are the same people who won't bother to create sane, accurate bug reports in the first place.
