All of the reasons you'd put /usr on a separate partition from / were resolved decades ago. There's no reason to do that, and a long list of reasons not to.
Umm, yeah... Nobody would ever want to boot from small alternate media devices in these days of 3TB drives.... I suppose most of what /bin was supposed to hold and the reasons for putting it there have been usurped by the initrd that is normally required to boot linux, though.
