The /bin vs /usr/bin split makes perfect sense but I always thought /sbin was superflous to happy to see it being deprecated by many distros.
I expect with the increasing moves towards app stores and sandboxing on all platforms that the days of installing packages contents all over the filesystem are limited and things like xdg-app are probably going to take over with an app being mounted into the filesystem in a sandbox as it is run.
