So what? In the section you quoted, note the mention of POSIX.1 -- and
the fact that POSIX.1 itself is a *programming interface* document,
not a *systems integration* document.  It doesn't even admit to the
existance of user commands (that's POSIX.2...) much less have any sway
over *packaging* and systems administration.

There may be arguments in your favor, but that certainly wasn't one of
them...
