Maybe. How does the application unify different environment variables? Those inherited by the shell, those read from .profile, those set in the process that start the application (be that ./run.sh, a nodejs script, systemd etc...).

Why would it want to? I'd say what you're asking for is actually a code smell. An app should not have a bazillion interlocking ways to be configured, unless there's a strong reason for this!
