It's not supposed to. The "user" option in fstab simply allows a
non-root user to mount the file system. It doesn't change the *contents*
of the file system.
user allow a user to mount
If you want to perform a file owner transformation on the contents of
the file system, then you need FS-specific options. It really only
makes sense for FAT or NTFS file systems that don't have Unix owners
at all, so an owner transformation is *always* being performed.
