Because you're not at home! The variable default-directory is buffer-local, which means that each buffer in GNU Emacs has one such private "personalised" variable. And they all can have different values by reflecting some state of the buffer. (I presume there are thousands of Gerlachs in Germany. Each one has this surname, but first names, street names, town names, and eMail addresses can be different.)
Could (getenv "HOME") be an alternative?
