I'ts a proposition to change the defaults.
On FreeBSD (now 15.0) I expect to be able to mount filesystems via fuse as ordinary user. For example,
fuse-ufs
and
simple-mtpfs
expose this option to user.
mkfs.exfat-fuse - not. So I obliged to run it as superuser, or get an error:
taras@bsd15:~% mount.exfat-fuse /dev/gpt/common ~/mnt_common/
FUSE exfat 1.4.0 (libfuse2)
taras@bsd15:~% mount_fusefs: /dev/fuse on /home/taras/mnt_common: Operation not permitted (extended error FUSE daemon requires privileges due to 'allow_other' option)
I propose a patch to change this behavior to expected -- remove default fuse option allow_other, but recognize it, if given in '-o' list.
In this form it works for me as port patch.

Or maybe it better to add another option, like in ntfs-3g: no_def_opts, thus it will no break existing configs
