There is no rule that says files have to be owned by existing users and
groups. Say you put a disk from another machine in your PC for some
reason, and the other machine has users that you don't have, are the
filesystems on this disk suddenly corrupt ??
Device descriptors are traditionally kept in /dev, but again there is no
reason you couldn't have some somewhere else.
