I don't think ScriptAlias is necessary directive. Only use it if you really
need it. e.g. I use "Options ExecCGI" on my webserver(s) and no ScriptAlias.
ScriptAlias only defines where CGI's (and only CGI's) reside - you can alias
it to different place than DocumentRoot. Also, if you put any file there, it
will be handles as CGI - executed.

I'd say this was changed so only files readable by user/group www-data could
be read by web server. I don't know what files are owned by user/group
"www", but they probably should not be read by apache, or any process it
executes...
