Hmmm, don't know. Have known it for years. I will admit I tried yours first,
then had my "do'h" moment and did it the other way. I do not use the command
line much... used to back in the 1990s.

Well, I can name a folder "~" if I wanted... but that does not stop me from
understanding the common usage and what Apple means here:
<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204215>
-----
Find device backups in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
-----
That is the common use of the tilde in a path statement - and the meaning is
clearly the user's home folder.
