That's just plain silly. Virtual users are extremely simple to setup, no
need for MySQL unless you have a bunch.
That said, there is nothing wrong with using system users, if those
users also have/need shell access, but if they don't virtual users is
just as easy/legitimate as system users with no shell access.
It's more a matter of the individuals skill level.
