The advantages of splitting /bin and /usr/bin, and /sbin and /usr/sbin outweigh the disadvantages
1. First, root and ordinary users will not be able to use commands in
each other's directories, which will greatly increase their security
2. If /usr is partitioned separately instead of a unified / partition,
ordinary users can also use commands in /usr/bin, which increases
convenience
Of course, these advantages have become impossible now with the merging
of directories
