Why do we use rcedit? #7688

It seems that dotnet build process is capable to set all necessary assembly metadata, like version and copyright strings, application icon. Why do we use external utility to do that instead? Is any good reason to use rcedit to edit compiled .exe rather than set this metadata thru .csproj file?
