YOU are suggesting that you know only your small world with
one computer and 1-3 users where all data lives in /home/
because you never saw environments with multiple users and
shared data-structures you can't place in /home and if you
work on more than one computer where one starts with 500
and the other starts with 1000 your chown does not
help you in any way
