The whole idea of the Tools module was that it is available for admin only. Anything, that ordinary user can see, should go User module. I do not see why Tools should be used instead of User.

When I started with TYPO3, I was surprised about this as well but then found that it fits good. You got admin-only tools in Tools and everything else under User. It is similar to /sbin and /bin on *nix systems. Quite logical separation.
