Consistency is nice too. I think it's old tradition to allow trusted non-root users to install things under /usr/local. E.g., on Debian GNU/Linux, if you're a member of the group "staff", you have sufficient permissions for a default ./configure && make && make check && make install install of gmp, or any other GNU package. As well as many non-GNU packages, even some not using autoconf. And that's still how I install more or less everything that I install from sources rather than from binary packages.
