Can anyone explain to me why this macro is "initrddir" when
/etc/init.d and /etc/rc.d/init.d have absolutely nothing whatsoever to
do with the initial RAM disk?  Shouldn't it be "initdir?"

Hysterical accident is what my bleached neurons remember.

Either Mandriva or PLD was the first to try to use a macro for init
scripts directories in packaging. The rest is conventional comedies with predicatble
punch lines and canned laughter.

It was Mandriva, says the changelog:
http://rpm5.org/cvs/filediff?f=rpm/platform.in&v1=2.6&v2=2.7

Couldn't find their original changelog,
seems like it was reset at 2005 or so ?
