In the latest man pages I recently found:

Since util-linux 2.35, mount does not exit when user permissions are inadequate according to libmount’s internal security rules. Instead, it drops suid permissions and continues as regular non-root user. This behavior supports use-cases where root permissions are not necessary (e.g., fuse filesystems, user namespaces, etc).

With this new rule the "regression" concerning `mount` is explainable.

So please add a link to this note at the description of the `user(s)` options.

Still existing: The buggy behaviour with `udisksctl mount`.
