When one actually uses /opt, it really wants to be on a separate filesystem, so you can dump huge (gigs of binaries and other data) proprietary software there without polluting the (sane) base system It matters a lot when you have simple backup procedures for the base system that explode if you accidentally scope Oracle/SAP/IBM bloatware.
