Before I comment, let me be sure I understand what's being proposed:
On Unix, the blender executable would most likely be /usr/bin/blender.
So the proposal is to have a /usr/bin/datafiles folder for the system
data files? If so, I don't think that's a good idea, for Unix anyway.
You don't expect to find any data in /usr/bin.
