From my perspective, it's not that the Imager dev chose to support /home/pi but that by default in Linux new user accounts are assigned uid:gid in numeric order beginning at 1000:1000. Thus I have trouble with wording like "aliasing". There is no user pi (see /etc/passwd) to alias to.

Right but our release image contains /home/pi with piano.sh, .dircolors and .xinitrc files. These are preserved if something other than pi is chosen as the userid in the Pi Imager which suggests that it's intelligently renaming /home/pi to /home/USERID instead of just creating an empty /home/USERID and leaving /home/pi as-is.
