I don't believe there is any proposal to merge /usr/local/bin with /bin, or
/usr/local/sbin with /sbin

The proposal https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin appears
to be to merge /usr/bin with /usr/sbin, and separately to merge /usr/local/bin
with /usr/local/sbin

I'm not saying I like it, but I agree with you that /usr/local/bin must remain
separate from /bin, and that at least is not being threatened.

I conclude that there are two ways of constructing a software design: One way
is to make it so simple that there are _obviously_ no deficiencies, and the
other way is to make it so complicated that there are no _obvious_
deficiencies.
