3. If you have different sites (presumably owned by different people)
on your server, all the backend servers can execute with different
userids so that the backend server of one site doesn't have to be able
to read the files of another site. And, everyone can change their own
server configuration.

We know that Apache 2 confers benefit #1 without needing a separate
frontend and backend. Benefit #2 seems to be planned, but isn't here
yet. ...What about benefit #3?
#3: --with-mpm=perchild
