i certainly can't speak for the original designers, but i'd say
aesthetics, mostly. putting bin before the arch type allows you to
simply have fewer things in your home directory, which makes looking
around easier. you can't really do that in the root. well, you could,
binding, for example, /bin/386 over /bin, but it'd be a lot uglier;
best to start with the empty /bin.
