Why almost all packages containing bins?

If we have:
 - package A contains *both* libs and bins
 - package B uses libs from package A
 - it makes some sense to have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of package B
   installed in different situations
*then* it makes some sense (to me) to rewrite package A's spec to split
out the lib part.

But I'm hardly convinced that represents "almost all specfiles".
