Setup provides the option to "Install For:" "All" or "Just Me".  You obviously
decided to use "Just Me", which explains why you got what you did by running 
setup.  If you wanted system mounts, you should have chosen "All".  As you 
noted, it's possible to change this setting after installation by just
remounting the 'user' mounts as 'system'.  For those interested in these
details, see 'mount --help'.
