For example asdf version manager. That sounds like another reason why you would want to redirect HOME to a stable and known directory constructed specifically for the use of your tests. Just like you do not want the behaviour of the tested program getting affected by random settings the users, who are running your tests, might have in their $HOME/.gitconfig, random settings for "asdf version manager" (whatever it is) the users happen to have in their $HOME directory would also have undesirable side effects to your tests, no?
