It's also the fault of the distributor who puts files in /usr/share/
when they are useless over there ...

I don't read that.
It also says (in the paragraph about /usr/share/):
It is recommended that application-specific, architecture-independent
directories be placed here. Such directories include groff, perl,
ghostscript, texmf, and kbd (Linux) or syscons (BSD). They may, however,
be placed in /usr/lib for backwards compatibility, at the distributor's
discretion...
I read "it is recommended" and not "it must".
