Others may have better answers than I, but my sense of this is that the 
fonts in Linux come from a variety of separate projects, each of which 
has had its own approach to storing fonts.
Linux is just an OS, not that plus a number of strictly coordinated 
apps. Therefore, there has never been any person or group to say, "fonts 
will go here and only here."
