If you're lucky enough to run in a production environment that has zero configuration policy or minimum security requirements, then yes, granting your webapp superuser privs to the database mightn't be a deal-breaker. For everyone else, it's giant shit sandwich, and a constant reminder that the project couldn't arsed untangling their own weird idiosyncrasies from their distributed app, and that this crap wouldn't fly with a traditional distro package, or wouldn't have mattered with the more traditional tarball/REQUIREMENTS/INSTALL.txt that made way fewer assumptions about the end-user's environment. I love docker, but it's letting people get away with murder.
