I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that that wasn't the case?

  Unfortunately, to be able to run xorg in unprivileged mode, it needs to run inside a session. So, right now the handicap of running xorg as user service is that it must be run with root privileges [...snip...] It seems likely that xorg could be modified [...snip...], and then it could run unprivileged from a user service outside a session.

Thats in the context of using xorg as a systemd user service. You can run startx as a normal user and have the server run unprivileged just fine.
