He was following the convention that since environment variables are inherited by
subprocesses, it makes more sense to set them once (at login) rather than every
time a new shell is started. That also simplifies the common task of augmenting
the PATH (and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and MANPATH) without unnecessarily adding duplicates.
