There is a reason that they do. All these prefix/datadir/whatever may be used in the code or scripts. DESTDIR just tells make install to put install stuff into DESTDIR as root, and this is want you want. If there are some hacks in the install target which do not use DESTDIR, it is broken, should be fixed and sent to upstream. That's what I do with my upstreams.
