The other way around, actually: all binaries are now located in
/usr/bin. /bin is just a symlink to /usr/bin.

Your understanding is wrong. If /usr/bin is where all binaries are
located then putting /usr/bin/zsh into /etc/shells is not wrong per
se. However, there's already a bug requesting what you're requesting,
too, though for different reasons:

Kind regarsd,
