True, but /usr/home is no longer a common place to store home directories. It used to be, particularly in Bell Labs Unix. (Does FreeBSD still do this?)
The Linux Foundation’s File Hierarchy Standard puts user homes in /home, but it’s by no means mandatory.
/home being the *nix home folder directory isn’t written in stone, but plenty of software expects it. Of course you shouldn’t hard code things like that, but that has never stopped anyone from doing it. (Not that we should reward that with de facto standards necessarily.)
I understand the various reasons why a root file system hierarchy isn’t part of the Single UNIX Specification, but it might have been nice.
