Setup provides the option to "Install For:" "All" or "Just Me". You obviously decided to use "Just Me", which explains why you got what you did by running setup. If you wanted system mounts, you should have chosen "All". As you noted, it's possible to change this setting after installation by just remounting the 'user' mounts as 'system'. For those interested in these details, see 'mount --help'.
