The rationale here is that media mounts for a seated user are part of

By placing them in an area exclusive to the seated user, the system as

And that could have been put at "/media/$username/$medianame". Not one
part of that security practice change required using "/run" Calling
stored content, typically used across multiple sessions and often used
for archival or non-writable storage, part of the "run-time" data is a
serious misreading of what the "run-time" data of the FHS spec
describes. The language is clearly aimed at PID data and similar
boot-time erasable data.
I've never personally used attachable media that I scrubbed, or
expected to be scrubbale, with everey reboot.
The media would not get scrubbed since it is not yet mounted at that
point in the boot sequence. What _does_ get scrubbed is any leftover
/run/media/$USER directories and the temporary mount points they
contain, which is arguably preferable to allowing that cruft to
accumulate in /media.
