The default would actually be /usr/local/bin, if i recall correctly, and no, none of the MDK utilities need root permission to run; but by putting them in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin we're not making them run with root permissions, just making them easily available by default to all users in the machine (they'll still run with the permissions of the user invoking them). But a note in the docs won't hurt anyone, of course (it's just again that two decades ago those things were "common lore" to the much smaller band of gnu/linux aficionados :)).
