Do you know in which Ubuntu version this showed up? I just tested on my Ubuntu 16.04 (I know, I know) and they are not symlinked.

I believe Ubuntu started being usrmerged-by-default in 19.04 (Disco Dingo), although the release notes do not mention it.

On 16.04 you can usrmerge your system by installing the usrmerge package:

18.04 here, /bin and /usr/bin are still different.

I think it was done in Debian 10 which was released last summer. So you'll probably need a Ubuntu version newer than that.
