That's not how it works. They export directories that are inherently
arch-specific because they contain binaries. $libexecdir is arch-specific, some
distros don't even use it and use $libdir instead, which is also arch specific.
Arch-specific pkgconfig files belong in $libdir.

With a multiarch approach you can have systemd installed for multiple
architectures, e.g. to /usr/lib/${host} and to be able to compile other
programs against it, the arch-specific pkgconfig files have to be in $libdir as
well. There really isn't much of a "primary arch" in that case.
