By having it as a custom_target with build_always, every "ninja -C build" would rebuild Xorg for the new date/time, even if the rest of Xorg didn't change. We could build the rest of Xorg into a static lib, and regenerate date/time when the static lib changes and link that into a final Xorg, but BUILD_DATE/TIME is such a dubious feature (compared to including a git sha, which is easy with meson) it doesn't seem worth the build time cost.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
