It's not a question of what IBM choose, it's a question of what individual
IBM employees did. USS is not an IBM acronym for Unix, but some IBM
employees write as though it were. Since IBM doesn't have any effective
internal standards compliance mechanism, they do what they want. That goes
beyond nomenclature, e.g., everybody choosing their own packaging
technique.
