You can run squid as root if you want but it still not recommended.
If you have a specific application running ontop of linux you can set
the setuid/stick bit and it will start with the user or group
privileges.

The problem is the external ACL-helper, started by squid. It runs as

FYI, openwrt is a shrinked-down LINUX, for embedded systems with
limited
resources, without any user besides the admin.
openwrt often is used for smart routers, for example. Practically all
processes run as root.
