Commit 6a07d0e (0.18+) moved ratbagd into /usr/sbin/ with the comment
Ratbagd requires to be run by root. It should thus live in the system binary directory.
This is IMO based on a misunderstanding of what /usr/sbin was/is - originally a set of statically linked binaries, now "admin tools" (whatever that means). The s does not stand for superuser though, so installing anything modern into /sbin is imo a bug1. The Fedora change request to get rid of /usr/sbin has a few more details: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin
Footnotes
this goes doubly for anything invoked as systemd service since systemd doesn't even make a distinction between these two ↩
