AFAIK, the usr-merge was not about moving everything to usr/bin (that's an implementation detail) but about making /bin and /usr/bin equivalent.
I had the opposite impression. The goal *is* moving stuff to /usr, as a prerequisite of the hermetic-/usr concept. Also, for bin/ specifically, having both /usr/bin and /bin does not make sense anymore.
The fact that /bin and /usr/bin became equivalent was the implementation that Fedora originally chose, and we followed to avoid cross-distro breakages.
This is also why alternative approaches like merged-/usr-via-moves-and-symlink-farms were proposed (ref: <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/MergedUsr#merged-.2Fusr-via-moves-and-symlink-farms>)
Am I misunderstanding something? Bye!
