That can be done already, in a variety of different ways. I suggest you have a read of the documentation.
That said, a lot of server software which may use privileged ports or provide access to content - like Apache httpd, Tomcat, MariaDB, PostgreSQL etc - do not allow arbitrary non-privileged users to read their configuration.
It's not security by obscurity, it's a basic fundamental good practice on UNIX-like systems and it's been like that since the very early days of the OS. It's not likely to change any time soon.
