I have to admit, I don't get your point here. If I am correct (and, if I am not, I welcome a correction):
1. Your original point was "Devs want local admin or admin access to everything.
2. GP's response was that even without any admin access of any type, he's hosed if his machine is compromised.
How does #2 above support or prove #1 above?
