But isn't .egg-info completely recreatable through setup.py?

Not if you're putting other data there, no. Chandler, for example, has an i18n framework that stores message catalogs and other localized resources there. Of course, it's certainly possible to use egg_info.writers plugins that would copy those things there, but it's a lot easier for development if you don't, as it would require a build step every time you changed something.
