Since /var/run is a subdir of /var which might be separate file system it is difficult mounting /var/run before /var. That means that it won't be available in the intird. (Yes, one can do stuff with show-through mount hierachies, that would allow replacing /var later on, but I am not a fan of such hackery.) Also note that by now it's somewhat standard that code that needs to be run as part of early boot creates a subdir in /dev, such as /dev/.udev or /dev/.systemd. Not super-pretty, but I guess it's too late to complain about that. Ideally the FHS would have never specified that /var/run and /var/lock would lie beneath /var, but I guess that's too late now.
