Fair points but as someone who works in cybersecurity. Phishing emails can happen without admin access. I haven’t heard of any randsomware that is triggered by just clicking on a link.

I think there should be some restrictions but highly technical people should slowly be given more and more control as they gain more trust/experience.

Of course but the impact could be much worse if the victim is admin on their computer.

Not a security guy but I heard there's a whole term for it, "one-click attacks"
