I have guarantee that the library binary mapped in memory identified by build-id can be found out there in the could. There is no other guarantee. And this guarantee fails with other solutions.
If you say that it is _additional_ info to build-id then yes, one can always use build-id if everything else fails. But then the non-build-id information is redundant and it can just lead to wrong toolchain solutions - which has already happened (Apport).
