Still a setuid bin. 🥺
I might be wrong but I think run0 (for systemd users) solves that
Not gonna lie, kinda blame systemd for this. The more utilities they swallow the more funding gets concentrated to the RedHat folks, and the less freedom you have to choose different software. They've certainly made some improvements in specific utilities, but there is an invisible cost of centralization
