First, it's not used by all distros (e.g. not by Debian), and secondly, the "optify" method is very different from traditional use of /opt, which stems back from older Unix systems and is simply just another directory, and additional paths in $PATH. There's none of the bind-mounting and other tricks used by the "optify" method. I find "optify" very messy indeed.
