You operate under a false assumption, the assumption that Linux is in any way a Unix. It's not and is not trying to be, that's why it ignores all real conventions. The Unix-likeness of Linux was useful when Linux was trying to become popular, at the time it was Unix-enough and free, and that remains the case, but that doesn't mean it's trying to be Unix.
