Why not?  (assuming permissions are set correctly, allowing
execution.)  Don't you launch executable shell scripts from a terminal
in the same way you launch binaries?  (granted, you *could* run "sh
<script>" for every script you use.. but that's why we have +x perms,
right?) Am I missing something important about shell scripts in this
context?

Debian, at least, mixes executable shell scripts in with binaries in
/sbin, and I'm assuming other places:

sfdisk:                  ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64,
version 1 (SYSV),
shadowconfig:            Bourne shell script text executable
shorewall:               Bourne shell script text executable
shutdown:                ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64,
version 1 (SYSV),
....
update-grub:             Bourne shell script text executable
update-modules:          Bourne shell script text executable
update-modules.modutils: Bourne shell script text executable
....
