Reproduction steps:

    Sorry for spam posting, but I have removed UnityHub from my environment, so I haven't verified if the LicensingClient needs to have r-x perms for users.

    For any administrators affected, the simplest way to preserve functionality is simply to remove permissions.
    find /opt -xdev -type f -uid 0 -perm 777 -exec chmod go-rwx {} \;

    For those shipping this software, the right way to do so is by creating a service account (perhaps called "unityd" and assigning its configuration files to it.

    This is still the case with 3.10.0

    I'm somewhat unsurprised.
