You can discuss if this is a feature but the fact is that most
distributions have given up supporting a separate /usr in later boot.

So any bugreport against lvm2 or nfs-common will be closed because it is
not a supported use case.

Maintainers are encouraged to install everything in /usr because it must
be available in early boot.

That’s why the usrmerge is only the logical next step. If you can’t live
without /usr, you can put everything in it. Why should you waste your
precious resources? There are enough other problems.

With the many features an application can have today you will have a hard
time finding and moving all the stuff. And then people would complain
that their / doesn’t have enough space…
