Thanks for responses, I later drank a glass of water and realised
all that :( The context was this was a one user system, and I wa
trying to figure out maybe I could just store my password files
by removing all the permissions and set the ownership to root. The
disk is FDE so I do not need to worry about someone else gaining
root access and getting all my secrets. On top, I thought encrypting
each secret file like this was redundant, and I got the idea to set
the owner as root, and set the permission to 0, and make use of doas
so that no one else can look into the file.

Thanks a lot for the replies upon the little small and not really
contextual idea that I had. It was not aimed at a server, and I
am really sorry not to mention the context :(
