This is true and completely irrelevant.

No it's not clear. I have no idea why you're rambling about the order
in which Bash executes its startup files. The order doesn't matter,
especially since the hypothetical attacker is supposedly unable to
modify those files.

You claimed to have a proof of concept that would demonstrate how some
security hole can be exploited if and only if ~/.local/bin is listed
before /usr/bin in PATH. I asked you to post your proof of concept. You
didn't. I will therefore conclude that you don't actually have one.
