The drawback of using /home is that it may be mounted over network filesystems.

I'm aware that you haven't great sympathy for the hipsters of freedesktop, but there is
a directory used by the different user services that need a place for their lock files,
pid files, log files and sockets.

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest

According to the specifications:

"There is a single base directory relative to which
  user-specific runtime files and other file objects should
  be placed. This directory is defined by the environment
  variable|$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR"|
  

I thought that "/run/user/$UID" was created by pam-systemd, but this directory already
exists in my devuan system. Prior to it, user services typically stored their files in
/tmp. Maybe they considered it inappropriate as it's writable by everyone.
