This I understand.
But then do other users not need read write permissions.
There is hardly any thing given on this page

You mentioned ServerRoot not be chowned to Apache.
But if not then to what should it be and there is nothing about
Document Root to be chowned ?
Who should own the Document Root there are many applications I
download from internet in their README pages it says
to chown those directories to apache.
Otherwise it never worked.
What should I do in this situation?
If an application tells you you must chown it to Apache, then that's a
clear indication that the authors of that application have no concern
for security, and the application should be avoided.
