Because /Library is the Apple framework equivalent of /usr/local in
unix-world. Whereas /usr/lib should not really be touched by anyone
but Apple (or the system vendor, for that matter, on any unix).

/Library is searched automatically by the linker when doing
framework-style builds, without needing -F to find a specific location
for it.
