Why would you *not* want to run it as root?
What do you hope to accomplish by that?

Everything that sbopkg does, for the most part, requires root
privileges.  Therefore, you can either run it as root, or the
developers can add a lot of potentially complex and otherwise
unnecessary code to it enabling it to run with normal user
privileges.  The sky is not falling.
