I don't think that this is an example of the FHS doing against the way that
UNIX works - just going against the current habits on many Linux users.

Indeed. As Linux's use of /mnt/subdirectories went against the conventions of Unix sysadmins a decade ago.
But at that time lots of workstations didn't have a single removable-media drive - imagine having separate additional /floppy /cd-writer /dvd-rom /zip in root.


From what's been said so far, I think we should introduce the /srv hierarchy.
