Why do some embedded projects shun cross-compiling?

As I’ve been getting into embedded systems I’ve noticed that some projects (Arch Arm and OpenBSD for example) frown upon cross compiling. What is the reasoning for this? Is a cross-compiled binary somehow different from a natively compiled one?

Adware. (we all know this crap)
