This thread--and the bug report--seem to have crossed two different worldviews.

One group wants a program that works. Just works. And they don't need to understand the guts or the complexities unless they want to.

The other does not want any program to exist if in some circumstances on some machines in some environments anyone with enough technical knowledge might get higher access privileges than are granted to the program.

I suppose there is a class of circumstances where the second worldview is sensible. But on this forum, and for the vast majority of Calibre users, I'm betting the first view prevails.

Security always comes with inconvenience. Convenience always comes with insecurity. Calibre is not an OS. Get over it.

(I guess you can sense my worldview.)
