I can't think of one, and it certainly would eliminate the problem of exactly

On OS X, the CDSA subsystem and Tokend plugin run as tokend user. If a user wants to use the pkcs#11 interface as well (to use opensc from firefox too, for example) this would not be possible (assuming that apple shall update the pcsc-lite in near future)

I could foresee some other similar crypto subsystems running as different user as the user currently connected to the 'console' (maybe http://delta.affinix.com/qca/ for example)
