I'm not sure of the exact reason, it's always been practice, but they normally are installed that way:

find /usr/lib -maxdepth 1 -name \*.dylib -type f -ls

Maybe it's something to do with executing code from a shared library that is memory mapped into the process?

I know on linux if you don't, then ldd complains, although the process still runs.
