That may be true at your site.  That's not true universally.
/usr/local/bin is the default installation location of all GNU software
and has been for years; this is unlikely to change.

If you want to install GCC into a different location, this is as simple as
providing the --prefix argument to configure when compiling it, as with
most GNU software.  Most of us who maintain large local software
installations have automated this process with wrapper scripts around
software builds.
