Could you clarify how this is related to an ability to invoke a user
process? For example, I can explicitly pass uid=1000,gid=1000 as a
mount option to fuse.sshfs and that makes the mounted tree owned by
that user also with systemd mount/automount.

What I see is that systemd lacks an ability to pass to the mount
command an automount context like UID/GID of the process that accessed
the mount point first. But I do not see how that can harm security
besides an extra code complexity.
