Don't think of it as primary and secondary. Think of it as "the arch
that got its hands on /usr/lib first" and "the arch that had to make do
with another directory for its conflicting files".

I don't think that's what Lennart means...
The difference between libraries and binaries is that with libraries you
sometimes need both the primary and the secondary, but with binaries you
only need one, so those binaries can go in the same directory /usr/lib
regardless of their arch. (Just like there's no bin64.)
To put it another way:
Sure, /usr/libexec could be removed, but there's no need to then split
its content into /usr/lib and /usr/lib64. Only use lib64 in the cases
where there would be a conflict between the two arches.
