Not a bug, just not implemented.

These are locations are currently not supported because of how complicated they are setup by various Android ROMs.

Storage Analyzer does not directly browse by "path" but by "logical unit",

i.e.

"Apps" is /data/data and /storage/emulated/0/Android/data

"User data" is /data/media/0

so this already overlaps, to specifically show system data we have to filter the other categories away and then allow browsing only the remaining folders.

Possible to do, just didn't implement this yet, not very important as there is no much storage to free in contrast to "Apps" and "User data".

@d4rken thanks for the explanation. I was actually hoping it would help me find out why my system data is said to use 19gb.
Will try to find it another way.
Thanks again for the explanation!
