In 16.04 (and I think everywhere), /sys is sysfs, so its contents are generated by the kernel, device drivers, and so on. Udev looks at sysfs in order to determine device information (eg ATA port number) that it uses to create everything else. How hardware is represented in sysfs can change over kernel versions, as we see here.
