nope, ~/bin does not exist at all for a freshly created user...

the snippet in ~/.profile will only add it to your PATH if the user
actively created it (which is why someone in the thread did not see it
at all in his PATH)

cat ~/.profile
...
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
    PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
fi
...
