Well, there's a couple things going on there. The first thing is that
there are a ton of lines of boiler plate packaging code.
The more important thing is that centos moves heaven and earth to NOT
break the kernel ABI when it upgrades. This is a GOOD thing IMO. But
I'm also one of those dirty, dirty, non-'foss only' types.
Out of curiosity I took a look and it turns out that the 'official'
way to build a kernel is pretty well documented by centos.

If you dispensed with a modular kernel, then most of the stuff they
have is not very interesting to you.
