Wether or not a system does have /usr/local is a decision of the sysop

a decision of distribution vendor (gentoo, debian etc.). /usr/local is
compulsory in both.
The admin has choosen the distribution, so he did a kind of
meta.dicision. nevetheless it is the admin, who did decide.
BTW, /usr/local was choosen for the reason that local stuff should not
mess up with the system supplied files in e.g. /usr/bin. So, everything
under /usr/local is local stuff. Linux distributions happen to reverse
things and today on a lot of systems files under /usr/lcoal are in deed
system supplied, but the reason to create /usr/local was to separate
local stuff from system supplied stuff.
admins do choose to have a /usr/local.
Then write the procedure so it works on all of them. For example:
"if your system has /usr/local directory, do xxx, otherwise if it
has /opt directory and you can change the $PATH, do yyy, otherwise do
zzz."
A sysop is required to think before starting to type. There is no

No, UNIX systems require a system administrator.
...
It requires at least some minimal skills to administer a UNIX system.
This is the reason, why administration is an explicit role.
BTW. in contrats to all marketing bubbling, it also requires immense
skills to administer windows systems.
It's irrelevant what skill administration takes. My friend's problem
was
he was unable to install gattrib. My friend's problem was not system
administration issue.
Installing software is an administration issue, may it be on UNIX
systems or on other systems. USING software is not an administrative
issue.
If I take Orcad or Eagle, I run eagle.exe and Eagle is installed in
the system. If I want to deinstall, I go into Windows program list,
select deinstall Eagle, and it's deinstalled. The same with Orcad.
If you are satisfied with eagle or orcad, why don't you simplyuse one
of these programs?
Because they are not free software.
And just because geda is free software, it offers you the freedom to
change everything, you do not like. Neither eagle nor orcad offer you
this freedom, It is up to you to use your freedom.
