If you want to mount system directories read-only or over a network, it's easier if you put them all in a single mount point. This way you can just mount /usr, instead of having to mount /bin, /lib, and /lib64 this way.


So /usr is now the directory for where all programs installed by the system or package manager gets installed. That actually does make sense.
