Because it is very unlikely that the user directory as specified in the passwd is not present. This is different for the value of the HOME environment variable. The user might easily mess this up. Why are you arguing at all? The problem you pointed out hasn't bothered anyone but you in the last twelve years. The natural response to your request would have been to turn it down. In particular because it is based on the wrong assumption that every other application would behave differently. That is wrong as can be easily seen by doing a code search for g_get_home_dir(). Instead of turning your request down we expressed interest to consider your patch if you can rework it a little. It would help a lot if you could simply do that.
