Because you did exactly this. su(1) says:
The optional argument - may be used to provide an environment similar to
what the user would expect had the user logged in directly.
Make a habit of using 'su -', as this behaviour is here to stay.

It's a change in Debian, see #833256.
There are two su utilities, from 'shadow' and from 'util-linux'.
Preserving user's environment unless '-' is specified is a feature of
util-linux's su.
