Well, not really. You get the same kind of stuff with Gnome for example, I have "~/Töölaud" folder instead of "~/Desktop" and I know that OS X does some fancy tricks with localized bundle/folder names as well but I don't know the details. You can tweak the paths (or displayed names in OS X) both on Windows and on Linux but for *easily* repeatable builds the defaults are chosen for (semi-)hard-coded paths in scripts where it matters (like Windows program installation). So that you can re-create the build environment by clicking mostly through the annoying "yes, next, ok, next" cycle in an environment (OS version and CPU architecture) known to be good. Instead of following a 4 pages "setting up the environment" guide. This also allows to track upstream changes and update the tutorials if it is possible to scratch the environment and re-do it in a reasonable timeframe when something new comes out (new operating system, compiler or some other dependency release).
