Your concern here is misplaced. You can logically claim that it is either completely incorrect to place native binaries in the user home directory or that it is safe to blindly do so without consideration of the "share" vs. "lib" issue. Which one you choose depends on your assumption about the different sorts of computers that the user's home directory might end up being used on. Having a separate 'lib' directory doesn't automatically solve the problem associated with trying to use a home directory that contains binaries on multiple different architectures. It's just a name.
