gollark: You can do extra things, like provide a certain capability set to some non-root processes (e.g. to allow network configuration without access to everything ever), or hide bits of the filesystem, or restrict networking, or restrict which users it can see, and such.
gollark: It doesn't actually have to.
gollark: Like most services, on sanely configured systems?
gollark: What of nonroot processes?
gollark: Oh, systemd has good sandboxing capabilities available in the unit files. Yes, you can do that with external scripting, but it makes it easier to secure things if it's an accessible builtin.
