Just a feature.

login_cap(3) says as follows,

  DESCRIPTION
     [...]
     ronment before the shell is invoked on login.  Note that access to the
     /etc/login.conf and .login_conf files will only be performed subject to
     the security checks documented in _secure_path(3) for the uids 0 and
     pwd->pw_uid respectively.

and you'll get the answer from _secure_path(3).
