I am curious, why don't this clever hacker create multiple accounts instead of only this "JiaT75"

That means you either have to compile software locally on each machine, or you have a combinatorial explosion of possible features.

Compiling locally has several drawbacks. It needs the full compilation environment installed on every machine, which uses a lot of disk space, and some security people dislike it (because then attackers can also compile software locally on that machine); compiling needs a lot of memory and disk space, and uses a lot of processor time and electric power. It also means that signature schemes which only allow signed code cannot be used (or you need to have the signing key available on the target machine, making it somewhat pointless).

The combinatorial explosion of features has been somewhat tamed lately, by bundling sets of feature into feature levels (x86_64-v1, etc), but that still quadruples the amount of compiled code to be distributed, and newer features still have to be selected at runtime.

Obviously compiling for the target architecture is best, but for most software (things like crypto libraries excluded) 95% of the benefit of AVX2 is going to come from things like vectorized memcpy/memcmp. Building glibc using ifuncs to provide optimized implementations of these routines gives most users most of the benefit of AVX2 (or whatever other ISA extension) while still distributing binaries that work on older CPU microarchitectures.
