While a user can change the permissions, the default install allows others to read, thereby requiring some change to prevent it. On the other hand, with unique groups for each user, as in RH, it doesn't. No one has access to your directories, unless you specifically allow it.
I'm sure Suse has a reason for this. But, still before knowing it, I'd say that it gives an impression that Suse is 'less' concern with users privacy regarding the /home directory (unless the default permission of it is 700).
