I did not see a convincing argument or explanation why there is a
critical security issue with sudo and this change, even when sudo would
inherit $HOME and $PATH. Who is the attacker that can drop files only in
$HOME/.local/bin or $HOME/bin not not in other directories, cannot
append existing files and does not yet have elevated access on the
system.

Kind regards
