I was tempted to post the same thing in the opposite direction.  That
is: Why not Category.HomePage?

I eventually switched from using $Group.$Group to $Group.HomePage.  By
using $Group.HomePage you can can exclude group home pages from
pagelists with ` -.HomePage', which I do frequently.  There are other
reasons I prefer $Group.HomePage, for example because the purpose of
the page is more self-evident from looking at the URL.

Nothing critical;  just another perspective...
