I feel like that warning comes right out of the era of multi-user machines with unprivileged shell accounts. That era is largely gone.

Not really because the user is not being trusted, but because malware has a lot more options for bypassing EDR/antimalware and persistence when it runs with admin rights. I'm sure this will come to Linux too at some point.
