I would have thought that the typical use is to create a directory,
copy a minimum number of (non-confidential) files in it, and do
all the dirty work in it via "firejail --private=". I do that for
testing actively developed 3rd party software, and this needs
something like "make install" each time the software is updated.
If bin is read-only, this doesn't work.
