Why would Acrobat be running as root in the first place?

  The updater is running as root.

  It’s a vuln in the auto-updater, which they need to plug all the vulns in the reader...

    Does the updater need to run as root, though? They could install a launchd process running as the installing user who owns the /Applications folder. This is what everything else does -- privileged helper daemons are not common.
