But users do build their package in testing.

That's one of the whole points of free software: being able to rebuild
the software. Saying the users "well, it did build fine at that point of
time in unstable" is useless for them: the release is Stretch, not the
state of unstable at some point of development in unstable.

Now, if we do know that what is in unstable will get into testing, and
then it'll become buildable in testing, it is fine. But saying "we build
our package in unstable" is not an argument.
