So to rephrase what you said:
public_html/.htaccess.example public_html/index.php public_html/drupal/ public_html/drupal/includes/
What's the point in having one more directory depth?
public_html/.htaccess.example public_html/index.php public_html/includes/ public_html/modules/ public_html/local/ public_html/local/sites public_html/local/sites/default/ public_html/local/sites/default/settings.php.example public_html/local/modules (contrib modules that are shared for all sites - empty)
The idea is to avoid clutter in the directory, and isolate drupal core in its own directory. Currently the following directories exist for any drupal installation database/ includes/ misc/ modules/ scripts/ sites/ themes/ sites/ will be moved to the local directory, that leaves the others. Having them up in the root directory makes it cluttered and prone to manual errors. If we move all the non-changing core drupal stuff to its own directory this makes it clearer and easier for everyone.
