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.
