Each of my sessions are based around either Deads, Bench, Squat and OHP and have at least one full body or lower body movement each session:
Back/Bi's/Hamstrings/Glutes
Chest/Shoulder/Tri's/Quads
Quads/Hamstrings/Glutes/Back/Bis
Shoulders/Chest/Tri's/Quads
Plus some Calves and Abs/core thrown in here and there.

My actual program is similar to Neddy's: Chest+Calves / Back / Legs / Shoulders / Arms+abs.
However, I often can't make it 5 days so if I only have 4 days, it goes to chest/tri, back/bi, legs, shoulders and 3 days it would go to chest/shoulders/tri, back/bi, legs.
As for why.. well generally I do chest/tri and back/bi together because the arms are already warmed up and I find it easier on the joints (as less actual weight is required to hit failure - query whether this means less growth). The only thing I will switch up is whether to switch to chest/bi, back/tri.
That's what my first PT told me years ago and I've generally stuck with that program.
I generally don't do shoulders/bi's together because I've read that fatigued shoulders can lead to injury when you train biceps immediately afterwards.

Of course, why not

I don't see why not, depending on how long you spend in the gym and what your overall routine looks like

I'll be changing to a full body routine for a while soon, something like this...
Monday - 10-15 rep working sets depending on the exercise
Wednesday - heavier day 6-8 rep working sets
Friday - 10-15 rep working sets
May also add an extra day for certain body parts as needed

Doing a modified starting strength currently, anywhere from 3-5 days, depending on how much skiing I do..
But my favourite routine is upper/lower, 2x each a week, 1 lower rep, 1 higher rep
