Yes, that's one way of doing it (the chown) but it's often
necessary
to fix things after installations which often have to be done as root
and thus put root owned stuff there.
It's usually user-written files that a user will keep on tweaking.
Other things installed as root probably only need some initial
customisation (e.g. adding your own search engine), and occasional
tweaking, so it's not such an annoyance to "su -" for them.
If one plays with blogs, etc., through an interface, *that* *interface*
should be handling correct ownership and permissions.
