    I think it originally did under old Unix, it was what /home is nowadays; “Unix System Resources” is a backronym.

      You are correct and this can be seen in some of the old AT&T demos from the '80s floating around on YouTube. There is even a chart that specifically labels a directory like /usr/bwk as the user’s home.

      Plan 9 also uses this old convention; users live under /usr and there is no /home.
