What's the FHS says is a little different:
/root : Home directory for the root user (optional)
Purpose
The root account's home directory may be determined by developer
or local preference, but this is the recommended default
location.
So the presence of /root is not required and root's home directory can
be set to /home/root by the installer if a read-only "/" is wanted.
