Including a prebuilt shell executable in the firmware binary is suboptimal
practice, especially given that the source code of the UEFI shell resides
in the same edk2 tree. Benefits of building the shell from source are
partly technical (a developer patching the shell can actually see the
results), partly ideological (the nominally built-from-source firmware is
actually built from source). "Security" might be worth a mention too.
The stanza for the [Components.common] section of
"ArmVirtualization.dsc.inc" originates from under OvmfPkg.
