because with_<feature> is %define (variable).

but %{with <feature>} and %{without <feature>} are macros (functions)

%with and %without macros go and evaluate with_<feature> define and return the 
state.

/usr/lib/rpm/macros:
# Shorthand for %{defined with_...}
%with()     %{expand:%%{?with_%{1}:1}%%{!?with_%{1}:0}}
%without()  %{expand:%%{?with_%{1}:0}%%{!?with_%{1}:1}}
