Counterpoint: I've never heard anyone do what you describe. Therefore no one does it, even though you've just described to me who does.
What exactly is the threat in using a local admin account? I can't think of anything you could do that wouldn't show a UAC prompt. The entire point and purpose of UAC was to prevent malicious elevation without the user's knowledge. I'm really not sure what you accomplish by adding a password to UAC prompt the user wouldn't have read either way. The end result is the same.
