Comment (by mrmist):

 I guess it depends on a few factors -

 If the media is not attached to anything, a user should be able to
 edit/delete their own media without restriction.

 If the media is attached to something, the user should be able to
 edit/delete their own media if they would normally be able to edit the
 thing it's attached to.

 At editor level or above, the restrictions need not apply.

 I suspect the reason that it currently isn't coded to that degree is
 because of what azaozz mentioned - that level of granularity is not within
 WordPress core.
