As a system operator, you need some elevated privileges on a daily

No, I don't. I only need them when I'm doing elevated things, such as
installs or upgrades. (In practice on some machines, I do those on
around a weekly basis or slightly more frequently, but it can be argued
that that's overkill.) The overwhelming majority of what I do does not
require elevated privileges, and the few things which do are not needed
anywhere near daily.
Starting and stopping services (e.g. running systemctl), changing configurations, all things you, where individual decisions have to be made, reuire elevated privileges. root in many cases.
