That's true, but the parameters to do it exist, they just aren't used right now anymore in the various init scripts. In fact, it may not actually be a bug, just user error not specifying the -u or -g parameters when using it.

shibd already can, but I was told pretty explicitly by people not to do it in things like systemd that already have a way to manage it.

No, it's very difficult for me to see how I could do it given the design and I don't see the benefit. The sockets are managed with an abstraction that's run deep inside the library, it's not anywhere near the "surface" of the daemon code.
