The primary reason for this is that there are genuine problems with stuff on / needed in early boot having library dependencies located in /usr. Libraries were moved to / on a case-by-case basis, but it's really just the tip of the iceberg. E.g. PAM modules needing openssl, datafiles from /usr/share, etc. It becomes a nightmare to coordinate and manage, particularly when you also have to consider third-party stuff out of your control. Simply ensuring that /usr is available in the initramfs solves all these problems.

I would think it's primarily an omission since sysvinit is no longer
cared about, so it only needed to work for systemd. Fixing it to work
in Devuan would be pretty simple.
