Concurrent installs of different versions/etc can be done in GNU/Linux as

With Linux I'm only familiar with doing it on separate partitions. In
windows at least you can run side by side on a single file system.
As I said before, that's only because Windows is terrible at handling
partitions.
In the end, the hierarchy is arbitrary, you can write any interpretation
to cover it up and make it appear different, as we have seen on
OSX. Personally, I come from the Linux as a religion corner, unless you
can show without doubt that the filesystem is essentially flawed,
then you are messing with something sacro-sanct out of self-importance.
Of all the things on the dock to work on in the Linux environment,
changing the filesystem opens up the least number of possibilities for
advancement in concrete usability.
