 The '''wp_nav_menu''' is only applying the '''.menu-item-home''' class to
 menu items when the home url is created with a custom link on Appearance >
 Menus. The Codex and Code Reference mention this class should be added to
 menu items "that correspond to the site front page."

 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_nav_menu/]

 When there is a static page set as a front page from Settings > Reading
 Settings, and then added as a link in Appearance > Menus from the "Pages"
 metabox, the class is ''not'' applied to the menu item. So either the
 descriptions in documentation can be adjusted or the conditionals/if
 statements in wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php can be adjusted so this
 class applies to static page links without having to be custom links.
