Why does Proxmox run KVM process as root?

Running KVM as a non-root user would be much more secure, a flaw allowing
code execution on the host would be limited by the user account.

For added security running each KVM process as a unique user would prevent
an exploit in one guest from accessing virtual disks of another guest
provided proper permissions were also applied to the vm disk files/devices.
