It lets you distinguish between OS utilites and application executables.
How? Please say more? That one sentence is just too vague and
ambiguous to know what you mean here. Sorry.
OS utilities (e.g. sh, bash) go under /bin, applications (e.g. Firefox,
Inkscape) go under /usr/bin.
That way you can mount /bin read-only unless you're performing an OS
upgrade.
