If you built a package with USE="-foo" and the foo USE flag is later
removed, -N would rebuild it, --changed-use would not.
Now think about all those linguas variables that are expanded to USE
flags. Do you really want to recompile LibreOffice just because a
linguas_klingon USE flag has been added? One that you wouldn't use anyway
and so makes no difference to the software you actually have installed.
