Well, it can be easily run as, e.g., `nobody`. As I mentioned above - it's just easy access to public shares. I don't know, have you seen something like this and how it is used to be in your country, but in the majority of our ISPs all network shares are done by Samba shares. No DC++, torrents etc., just simple public samba. One connected to the network can access all others public data. I can easily open music from such share in gnome totem and gedit, but my vim and mplayer don't know 'smb://' protocol. And many other software too. This mountpoint designed to be useful exactly for such easy public share access.

Why? Most daemons have nothing in common with kernelspace. Or you suppose that mysql, mpd or pulseaudio are run in kernelspace? smbnetfs is daemon, too. I really see no problem.
