No, that is incorrect.
/run is a deliberate design decision (and a damn good one that should
always have been there IMHO) and it sticks around because it is
supposed to. It's not an after-effect that just happens to be useful,
it's the entire objective.
Think of it in the same way you think of /dev, /proc and /sys:
There are there, there are guaranteed to be there with certain
behaviours, and you can't change that (neither should you want to).
