1. remote_user is the 'user you log in as' on the remote, mostly used by ssh and similar connection plugins 2. When using sudo (substitute user do) 'the current user' (normally remote/login in user) BECOMES the 'substitute user' to run a command(s), that is what become_user allows you to specify. This is what normally happens: sudo -u <become_user> <command> (by default sudo will use `-u root` if you omit -u) 3. That means you did not change to 'user home' aka `~/` or `$HOME` (also happens when you `cd` without an argument), Ansible, by default, operates on the "current effective user"'s home to handle permissions, as you can become users other than root and those normally cannot write to the remote/login user's home
