This is one of the many special (blessed) folders that you can get "path

Most from Standard Additions, which is one of the places where newcomers

path to apple menu/application support/control panels/control strip
modules/desktop/desktop pictures folder/extensions/Folder Action
scripts/fonts/help/launcher items folder/modem
