I'm working on an embedded system, and the bundled busybox doesn't
include useradd nor adduser. So I thought that it was faster to create
the user that way instead of setting a toolchain and recompiling busybox...

That might have been the only way to create a Unix user account back
around 1972, but it hardly seems like the recommended way now. Doesn't
your distro provide a tool for that?
Every distro I've used in the last 5 or 10 years has either adduser or
useradd and usermod for this kind of stuff.
