Some can (and should) be, and indeed you have given the only two examples (ld-usb* and libpthread in addition, but that again is glibc). That's why that hint is in the "Best practice" sections, and not a policy. Because indeed, most shared libraries are _not_ executable, which should be reflected by their permissions. For being a shared lib they don't need to be marked 755.
Wondering how much this policy (best practice) is applied on our distribution:
Yep, that's a problem. We hoped by documenting this as best practice over time the distro will catch up :)
# /usr/lib64> ls -lad lib* | grep "^[^l]rwx" | wc -l 1063 # /usr/lib64> ls -lad lib* | grep "^[^l]rw-" | wc -l 202
... and it seems we slowly succeed. Some years ago nearly all shared libs were 755 ;)
Isn't this something that should just get fixed upstream in some of the autotools? We'd then get the right thing for free in most packages.
