This is about sudo's settings, not Emacs's. See sudo's option "-H" (man
sudo):
-H, --set-home
Request that the security policy set the HOME
environment variable to the home directory specified by
the target user's password database entry. Depending on
the policy, this may be the default behavior.
Or "man sudoers":
always_set_home If enabled, sudo will set the HOME environment vari‐
able to the home directory of the target user (which
is root unless the -u option is used). This effec‐
tively means that the -H option is always implied.
Note that by default, HOME will be set to the home
directory of the target user when the env_reset
option is enabled, so always_set_home only has an
effect for configurations where either env_reset is
disabled or HOME is present in the env_keep list.
This flag is off by default.
