Imagine having to type your password for every single shell command you execute. Not just for the line you typed, but per statement. A subshell counts as at least one; so does each segment of a pipe. Then, if any of those statements run a shell script, this applies recursively. Then, for any actutal program that runs, you have to confirm every syscall with a password too.
That's what "every system should be authenticated and authorized" feels like in the limit. So in practice, it always boils down to how deep you go before the overhead starts to eclipse any benefit you get from running the system.
