sudo $(which nix-store) --optimize breaks the store on a single user install #5363

Describe the bug

Maybe I should've expected this, I'm so used to running nix-store as root for these things.

I repaired by chown user:user /nix/store. But maybe nix should warn me if it's a single user install and block me from running commands as root, or it should not change the permissions on the store in this case.

[opc@pycliexampleinstance store]$ nix --version
