The binaries are open source, but Google doesn't design their build chain to recompile from scratch every time.

Also, you don't need to compile all of AOSP just to get the toolchain binaries.

With how strict F-Droid is I would have expected them to build from source all the way down. Though that sounds like a daunting task so I don't blame them.
