NO, it won't reduce everybody's security.
You obviously don't understand what I'm trying to say.

SPECIFYING it, that PostGre don't control the privileged he has.
This discussion is amazing. Without this option, I CANNOT use PostGre, and
I think I'm not the only one...

The example given in this thread certainly isn't going to change
anybody's mind. "Hi, I propose reducing everybody's security because
my local admins insist on an utterly brain-dead security policy."
