While I share the same concern to some degree, distro's usually use whatever path they want to be consistent with their layout (which I hope to converge to LHS or something). As long as we have it easily overridable from their build system (which we do) it should not matter too much for them. For people who build and install their own, I suspect most of them do so because they do not either like the version installed by the sysadmin or they cannot write into system-wide directories, so to them the path needs to be redefined to point at elsewhere anyway and would not be an issue either. But my guess might be grossly wrong.
