ps(1) exposes enviroment

[Wojciech Scigala <vvk_(_at_)_arkanet_(_dot_)_trzepak_(_dot_)_pl>]

ps(1) called with 'e' argument shows enviroment variables of
processes. It's proper and well documented behaviour, but I can't
understand how it makes sense - enviroment is often used by
applications to hold passwords or other sensitive data, and so it
should not be exposed to other users. I can't see any good reason
for an user to see others' enviroment - or even whole process list.

So please, our dear developers, argue why one's enviroment has to be
exposed to others. Maybe it's only historical reason?
