It was "invented" by a number of people who understood how to get
along without ACLs and capabilities and all the stupid machinery
necessary to support them
sounds more you do not understand what ACLs are for
how could a private user group replace ACLs?
if you have different users and groups which needs
defined permissions you will always need ACLs because
chmod can only reflect the primary group
for restrict access to a single user you need no ACL
chmod 600 does this for you
