I can ask you the same thing: What is the usable feature of merging the two? What benefit do I get as a result?
One reson to have a separate /usr is terminal servers which mounts /usr and what not from a sentral server. (e.g. LTSP, Debian-Edu, Skolelinux)
If something in /usr is resulting in the need for manual fsck, you have a healthy root file system to work from.
If something goes wrong with the root file system, you have a lot less chance of fixing something without having to result to a boot CD/usb-stick.
I've been using GNU/Linux for some 10 years now. One of the first things I learned was the value of having /usr on a separate partition.
Even on desktop systems I have /, /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp.
And there are many users who do this.
I don't know anyone who doesn't have /usr on a separate partition.
All of my friends who use GNU/Linux does this. Every single one.
Having something which forces the merging of / and /usr into a big / will Break many systems on an upgrade.
And, why should the system even have to care about if I have /usr on a separate partition?
