That's all fine and good, but I think that having even read only access
to others files seems weird. I have medical, financial and other
sensitive information as does my room mate. It seems like bad policy to
let anyone snoop around your stuff. I don't see what good it is to allow
this.

Sorta like having a window with no blinds. Sure you can't climb in, or
do much of anything. But you can get a long peak, especially in
sensitive areas (bedroom, bathroom, you get the idea.) As you mentioned
you can't change anything inside, but it sure can make for compromised
information.

I followed the request for umask. I did not comment on its philosophy.

Don't be too snarky with the *comments* It comes across as rude.
