Isn't this argument outdated?
It still *is* the rationale for putting things into /usr/share, even though I agree that probably nobody actually does that. That, in turn, is because nobody is so short of disk space that you really *have* to share /usr/share across architectures, and because trying to do the sharing still causes problems (e.g. what if the packaging systems of different architectures all decide to put the same files into /usr/share?)
