Having a makefile inside a module can potentially affects other people workflow's using makefiles.

See #1103872: Change name of ckeditor.make to ckeditor.make.example for drush make module and #2002264: Rename the .make.example file to .make.

Things like having the module on a directory other than sites/all/modules is not possible, other versions or patches cannot be added, etc.
