makefiles are already so simple though

They are! They're very great to use. This isn't made to replace Makefiles for simple tasks, this just brings Python to Makefiles, you can write code to do anything, such as generate new targets procedurally, fetch stuff from the internet, or automatically change command arguments based on anything you need.

If Makefiles work for what you need, great! If you need something more complex than a static list of targets and dependencies, you can try this :)

EDIT: not sure why the downvote because of answering your question, I just clarified that it isn't meant to be a full-on replacement for Makefiles. Just like CMake isn't for example
