Yes, if a user's account is compromised (or any service running as them), it's REALLY easy to drop faked tools into a user-private directory and override critical system tools (like replacing 'bash' with a keylogger).

If user's account is compromised, user's PATH can be changed. IMHO the provided argument is not valid.
