Sorry, I lied, I wanted to get more information to why this comes about.

This default is set in /etc/login.defs as the home directory UMASK.

https://serverfault.com/questions/98842/useradd-with-755-permissions

The top answer explains this in detail

The second answer gives you a command to add the proper UMASK that you want
into the useradd command line.


For 750 you would want this command argument to be

useradd -K UMASK=0027

Or for 710 you would do

useradd -K UMASK=0067


If you would like to discuss this further, we could either take this off
list, or if you prefer, some sort of real time chat communication that
might allow us to discuss finer details in a more interactive format.

Please let me know if you would like to converse further on some of the
lesser well-known details of how Linux works in common scenarios.
