I guess mounting /usr depends on NETWORK for a reaseon, that reason most probably being to make it network-mountable. So if you move /usr (or /usr/bin etc.) to /, you lose the ability to have the contents of /usr/bin etc. reside on the network. You could just as well decide that /usr must be a local filesystem, no?
