It is not about being funny, it is about making reasonable decisions.
/run solved a huge old problem, libexec is pointless and only creates
needless and nothing but annoying differences.

Nah.  /usr/libexec is a good place to store system-wide helper binaries without having to worry about the patch changing due to multilib; remember systemd has had to receive an explicit exception[1] for its scheme of storing everything-in /usr/lib/systemd as if it were /opt/systemd, with many of the files located there violating the intent of FHS.
