Directory /usr/local/bin belongs to filesystem-11.4-11.14.1.x86_64.rpm
in OpenSuSE and the owner and permissions set in this rpm, as you can
easily check on any FTP mirror, are
root:root drwxr-xr-x
And this also is what you actually find in installed systems (I have
many OpenSuSE systems of different versions).
So, what evidence of the world-writability can you provide beside the
observation from your system?

That's still one distro. And IMO more likely no distro at all, but some
special setup on your side.
