From the FreeBSD point of view:

Anyway, symlinking /bin to /usr/bin is quite strange.

In Linux terms, just about all software is installed here including local system applications and add-on software. in BSD terms, this is where all administrative tools to the OS are installed that do not have the same priority as those needed at boot-time in /(root).

In Linux terms, this directory is rarely used nowadays, but is still part of the FHS guidelines because you can use this directory. In BSD terms any packages from the ports collection are installed here to segregate user installed local applications and packages from the main BSD system.
