Now, it launched gnome-terminal from /. What makes you so sure that _this_ behaviour is intentional and not only a bug (or side-effect) specific to your setup? Even Nautilus not starting in $HOME sounds unusual.
Because it's par for the course. Evidence is replete with examples of hostility from Gnome UI to anything other than the Official Way – to the point that one needs to use something laughably called a "Tweak Tool", an add-on, to control various mundane things like the date display format, or input focus behavior. Something that, until Gnome 3, was offered as an integrated configuration setting of the primary desktop configuration tool.
I could go on, of course. Suffice it to say that if, in order to customize one's desktop, one more often will use the tweak tool add-on, instead of the readily available "settings" applications, then someone's priorities are definitely wrong.
