Try using Gobo Linux or NixOS and you'll see one reason: despite efforts like the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, it can still be problematic to ship binaries with hard-coded paths.
For example, I use NixOS, and have had to use the "patchelf" utility to alter hard-coded paths in a few programs (either binary blobs, or bootstrapping systems bundled with source).
