"Designed" ? Nah - wrong word.
Most of the interesting differences between unixes and other OSs come
from the sheer age of the original.
Disks were much smaller and having a separate disk for /usr /home /var
and mail was much more likely.
We've just taken that restriction and called it a feature.
LVM is one way around this, now that disks have got much larger.
