It most certainly isn't. nginx isn't running as root, yet it can log

Kind of off-topic, anyhow.
If your Nginx serves on ports lower than 1024, which you typically do
with port 80 and/or port 443, then the master process of Nginx must run
as the root user. And that process handles the logging. The worker
processes can of course run as a non privileged user.
