(as few "regular users" run as root, as I need to) I'm almost certain the conversation would take an immediate segway in that direction to shut me down if I were to try to discuss it with them.

That exact thought occurred to me, and its implication is that you're someday going to have to deal with a DW version that requires you to reboot in order to run it on the version(s) of OS X for which it's been optimized; either that, or Alsoft will develop a new version of DW that runs from root (to satisfy techs such as you) and costs like hell.
