It’s not just power users either. Regular Windows users howled with outrage when they had to enter their password to permit software to do a privileged task.

Not necessarily “all the safeties off.” I’d define that as like, running as root always.

It’s more about not being locked out of actual admin access to my own computer.

I expect to have at minimum a developer mode that allows me to enter my password to allow me to run whatever code I want without OS vendor blessing. Heck, add a small coding challenge to unlock it. Whatever.

Also, users who actually want to get shit done.
