Technically /bin and friends are still there, as hidden symlinks into /System/Index.

In theory one could have a variant of /Programs live under /usr or some such, and just aim the symlinks into the traditional FHS. But the Gobo people figured that if they were to build a distro from scratch (initial Gobolinux releases piggybacked on existing minimal distro installs) why not see how far one could go.

Unlike various other projects out there, Gobolinux plays nice with the FHS. There is no demand from them regarding how the rest of the Linux community should structure things.
