  I think because they want to have files from different packages separate and easily addable and removable using symlinks.

  Also some things in the FHS make no sense for modern computers where storage is cheap and system storage is rarely shared amongst systems. The same applies for single-users/desktop machines. But it’s the only standard we have so, why not keep it for now.

    Because making new standards is fun.
