This seems to be able ease of use for Windows users vs *nix users. Even without the requirements for GRADLE_HOME I'd still define it and use a bashrc/profile export configuration as it helps me manage my path and switch quickly between versions. So I personally wouldn't object to axing GRADLE_HOME as it wouldn't change anything for me.
