Sure you could write out each one, but this is higher maintenance and much uglier to look at when reading the test.  Every time you add or remove an input, you need to go remember to update the test.

The same discussion is going for decades of whether it is fine to use glob constructs in Makefiles (or cmakefiles) to not specify every single source file. I'd say most people think it is a bad idea to use glob there.
