My point is the irrelevance of OS X in this instance. Apple has set its 
own standards for its own variant of Unix.

Who cares about its device name?
What desktop user cares about the mount point, unless to type at it? If 
you choose the volume from an icon or menu, its mount-point is 
irrelevant. OTOH if you're going to type its name, that name becomes 
quite important.
