> The Unix security model is designed for mutli-user hosts.

Reminds me of the story of RMS complaing about evil admins that were restricting root level access. The views on computer users and security were quite different in the early days of UNIX.

RMS' views might have been different. In a little thing we call actual reality the sysadmin is an employee hired by the same people who bought the system (no small investment in those days) to maintain it, and I don't think any reasonable person has ever denied that.
