What else do you imagine it might mean?
Here is SQL Server interpretation for example:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/system-user-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver16
And Oracle:
http://luna-ext.di.fc.ul.pt/oracle11g/timesten.112/e13070/ttsql257.htm#i1120532
"SYSTEM_USER
Returns the name of the current data store user
as identified by the operating system."
Seems equivalent.
