/usr has nothing to do with users,
Think system users have no connection to /usr. Well try "echo $PATH" as a user

Note /sbin as root but not as a user I didn't say USERS don't need /usr, quite the contrary, for virtually all non-system applications, the programs are in /usr. What the problem is that *during BOOT*, the users don't need /usr, only the system and only for items directly related to the boot process. Once booted, one assumes that other devices are initialized, partitions mounted, nfs or smb or cifs or other networked drives will be mounted and the files and programs contained therin would be available to users and root alike....just not while booting. If anything in /usr IS needed during boot, then it is in the wrong place, eg, it should be in /sbin or /lib or /boot which *are* in the root device and available during the boot cycle.
