Why does /etc/profile include /bin and /usr/bin in the PATH?

Maybe this has been discussed and I just don't remember but why are /bin
and /usr/bin included in the default path in /etc/profile? Since they
point to the same directory that just slows bash down a little when
finding files not in /bin.
