I think this bug is not a preferred place to discuss,
however, while I don't disagree (rather I recommend) to use
__id_u, what I fear that the macro for _id_u is
as written in  /usr/lib/rpm/macros,
------------------------------------------------
#
# fixowner, fixgroup, and fixperms are run at the end of hardcoded setup
# These macros are necessary only for legacy compatibility, and have moved
# to per-platform macro configuration (i.e. /usr/lib/rpm/<arch>-<os>/macros)
#
# Note: These are no longer enabled by default.
#%__id_u                %{__id} -u
#%__chown_Rhf           %{__chown} -Rhf
#%__chgrp_Rhf           %{__chgrp} -Rhf
#%_fixowner             [ `%{__id_u}` = '0' ] && %{__chown_Rhf} root
#%_fixgroup             [ `%{__id_u}` = '0' ] && %{__chgrp_Rhf} root
#%_fixperms             %{__chmod} -Rf a+rX,u+w,g-w,o-w
#
--------------------------------------------------
... it seems that this is written for _legacy_ support,
and these macros may be removed in the future.
