No reason to do it on embedded system. Lots of backward compatibility reason on servers/desktops.

it's my understanding that most distros by now have moved to have their stuff in /usr, though there might still be backwards compatibility symlinks of course.

Good luck mounting /usr when mount is in /usr/bin. Not everybody uses a ramdisk to boot the system.

Just don't put /usr on its own partition. What is the point anyway after we have merged /bin into /usr/bin, /lib into /usr/lib etc. Just put your operating system on a single partition and be happy.
