It causes pointless configure and Makefile complications in every single upstream project that wants to install something into that location and has to differentiate between Fedora (/usr/libexec) and the rest of the world (/usr/lib/$pkg). It has ripple-on effects throughout the project - e.g. having to patch the right prefix into desktop files, into service files, etc etc. The fact that multilib gets in the way is an argument against the way we do multilib, not against /usr/lib/$pkg, from my pov.
