The problem is that you can enable several rootfs formats at the same
time (E.G. tar and cramfs), so we would need to only use xattrs if no
file system without xattrs support is enabled.

And things would break if you do a build with E.G. only tar rootfs
support and then afterwards enable cramfs without doing a clean
rebuild - Yes, I know you are not supposed to do that, but it does
happen.
