It's an odd claim. I typically don't have anything in /usr/local except what I put there myself. Some Debian packages do create a directory in /usr/local/share but leave it empty. So what goes in /usr/local is mostly software I've compiled myself and maybe some little scripts. Basically stuff I might use both as both root and normal user. If it's just for my non-privileged user account then it typically goes in $HOME/bin or the more modern $HOME/.local/bin.
Programs compiled from source rather than as part of a distro package may use /usr/local as a default.
For example kamailio defaults configuration to /usr/local/etc and homebrew defaults packages to /usr/local
