You may be hitting against Apple’s SIP protection that’s been added to El Capitan and newer versions of macOS. The kernel enforces the protection of certain directories. Not even the root user can do much about it without the command line csrutil program. I know that after SIP was introduced package managers like brew had to bury their stuff into places like /usr/local/HomeBrew instead of the previous /HomeBrew.
