That's because it isn't recognized as an existing base macro. Try %{_var} or
%{_localstatedir} and you'll see a different color.

It's easier to just put them everywhere :-D

I'm not saying I'm against any fixed uid/gid scheme, just that I don't really
like adding a dependency on an external package instead os using plain
useradd/userdel.

That page is definitely missing some information (which I don't know), as the
names there simply cannot have uids 1 to 12. I guess there is a fixed value
automatically added by the additional user management tools like 200 or 300? It
should definitely be added to that page.
>From there, I'd really prefer simply putting the full real uid/gid to that page
and use plain useradd with it in packages. Maybe a discussion for
fedora-packaging list?
