I think it depends on the usecase, but for most local hardware, there is a strong trend towards using consolekit/systemd-logind, which I think is good.
If I'm not the logged-in user (so connecting remotely), why should I be able to use the audio on the machine or access plugged-in usb devices? Same is probably true for (local, non-network) scanning. If I'm not present, how can I place the sheet to scan in the device? :) If a device is meant to be used by multiple people, there usually is some daemon/service (pulseaudio, samba, saned) that manages this, so no need for users to access devices directly.
