In fact, if you look in /opt/trinity/bin/starttde below line 208, it
dynamically adds /opt/trinity directories to the path.

Fair enough. My guess is every one of those apps create sym links in
/usr/bin because seldom is /opt/trinity/$anything in the search path $PATH. There is no strict technical requirement against
installing to /opt, but
doing so renders TDE a second class player. No other DE is installed
this way.
In my /opt live:
- Trinity
- Vivaldi
- Firefox
- Simplify3D
- MasterPDF -Editor
- LibreOffice
- Google Chrome and Earth
- AfterShot Pro
- and even M$ Edge (yep, for their Teams Prgressive Web App that no long
can connect to their new Teams...)
So /opt is quite used. Judging of a DE from where it is installed is...
well.. let's say surprising. A little as if I said a car is good not
because I use it because where I bought it.
