I believe that's the main misunderstanding here, `guix home` acts like
`guix system`: it creates home generations, inside which there is a
profile. That profile is _not_ ~/.guix-profile, but rather
~/.guix-home/profile. They are disjoint and not operated on by the same
commands, guix home will not touch ~/.guix-profile. If you configure
your shell environment variables with guix home alone, I believe only
the the guix home profile is available by default.
