You are not using tmux for what it's designed to be used. It's not for running long-running processes, even though you might use it this way (you could also use eg. Photoshop to run long-running processes, after all, it has an embedded JavaScript interpreter with some extra functionality that might allow you to do that).
tmux serves the same purpose as DE, except w/o the whole windowing system etc. It's to allow you to switch between multiple applications which require terminal for interaction.
I spend close to 100% of my time at work inside tmux, and I never needed to answer a question "where do the process variables come from?" -- it's irrelevant in the same way how you don't ask where does Gnome get its environment variables from. You simply don't rely on environmental variables when running tmux / don't care about them.
