this means any user in the input group can keylog the system, that is why nobody can access uinput by default

Isn't this something accepted when giving the "input" group to some user?

that is why nobody can access uinput by default

What are alternatives to this?

About keyloging, where do you read uinput is a way to keylog physical system inputs?

I am wondering if SUBSYSTEM=="misc" should be input instead of misc

According to the research I did, such type of rule is not included in systemd's udev. Also @nekopsykose have concerns about security and these look pretty valid. eudev have means for achieving this for a single user system by adding a custom rule file in /etc.
