Ah, right. We are not. I was comparing shell script to a shell script.
And perl script to a perl script. You've compared MySQL-5.6 perl script
to MariaDB 10.1 shell script :)

In MariaDB 10.1 mysql_install_db.pl has
-----------------
chown($opt->{user}, $dir) if -w "/" and !$opt->{user};
-----------------

In MySQL 5.6 mysql_install_db.sh has
-----------------
chown $user $dir
if test $? -ne 0
then
echo "Cannot change ownership of the database directories to the '$user'"
echo "user. Check that you have the necessary permissions and try again."
exit 1
fi
-----------------
which is almost exactly the same (only differece - it'll fail if $dir
contains spaces)
