yes but also no

every distro has defined their own new file system layout standard

sure they all started out with the common ancestor of FHS 3.0, but diverged since then in various degrees

and some modern competing standards try to fix it (mainly UAPI Group)

(And yes some people will go one and one about how UAPI is just a way for systemd to force their ideas on others, but if you don't update a standard for 10+[1] years and aren't okay with others taking over this work either, idk. how you can complain for them making their own standard).
