Yes, the things I personally run nearly always run under my user account. I've never said otherwise. I've also said that Android doesn't do things this way, and that that's a good thing. As I mentioned in my comment to TheDong: [0]

> [I]t's my understanding that Android does bother to fairly properly sandbox programs from each other... so an escalation to root would actually be a significant gain in access.

And my comment to you: [1]

> In this context, "single user system" means either "single human using the system", or "one human physically sat in front of the system's 'console' at one time". ... So, nearly 100% of "single user systems" of this type will have software running under different "user" accounts on the system, but still meet the definition, because those accounts are actually "machine" or "service" accounts.

And from that same comment:

> > Android security is tight

> Yep. That's what I said: "[I]t's my understanding that Android does bother to fairly properly sandbox programs from each other... so an escalation to root would actually be a significant gain in access."

Moving on.

> Yeah sure init runs as root, and maybe you have background services that run as some other user.

Correct. That's why I said:

> Most Linux systems don't run every single program as a separate Linux user. That doesn't mean that those systems are "in fact running everything as one user".

Before you succumb to another fit of rage, take a few deep breaths, review my previous comments, and notice my critique about how Android does things, as well as my commentary about how Android is also a "single-user system" (as TheDong was using the term), and how I think the term is pretty bad, but it's the one that's widely used.
