made me think that you didn't get that ~ actually is /tmp/root.

I personally think that it's actually a wiser choice (from Amazon's perspective) to put the root home directory under /tmp/ than to make it persistent. This way, even if something inadvertently shoots itself in the foot, at least such settings are cleared after a reboot. (Though I don't know which kind of setting would qualify here).
