We're (sort of) trying to phase out /usr/libexec in favor of

But then the location if a command will depend on whether the system is
a 64 or 32 bit system, which makes it more error prone to write software that
uses such commands on both kind of systems.

libexecdir is already a macro expanded at build time. If you were hardcoding /usr/libexec you were already broken on non-Red-Hat-like Linuxes. Don't let already being broken be an excuse for continuing to be broken.
