Yeah, for the base system that approach makes sense to me (build privilege-dropping into the code), but sometimes I just want to sandbox an existing binary. One recent example where it's come up is a student AI competition, where their submissions aren't supposed to do anything but read/write stdin/stdout, and it'd be nice to be able to enforce that externally by just lowering the process's privileges.
