True but accessing your own files, pinging, network management etc aren't included in the things an Android terminal user can do. Hence the need for root.

/mnt/shared has access to your personal files and pinging just works.
This is as the default 'droid' user, but I also have a root user (but that's only root within the terminal)
That sounds like more of a need to be able to share files and folders with the terminal app and for there to be a ping command callable from nonroot added.
