This will help reduce build times when changes are made to the precompiled script plugins used in the build. This is because a change in buildSrc causes the whole project to become out-of-date. Using an included build instead works around this problem.

This also helps if shared build logic needs to be used with other included builds, potentially the Gradle plugin or the detekt compiler plugin as discussed at #4052
