Rgui never processes ~/.Renviron

| WORKAROUND:
| Setting R_USER or HOME prior to calling Rgui will cause Rgui to
| process ~/.Renviron, e.g.

AFAICR one _always_ had to manually set $HOME on Windows as the convention of
having it comes from the some other OSs and is not native.

In short I don't think this is new. A quick Google search seems to confirm
this with a SuperUser answer from 2013:
