It sounds like you just described what User Account Control (UAC) has been doing since Windows Vista (2006).

  There are UAC bypasses. Microsoft has repeatedly stated that UAC isn't actually a security boundary. It's better to run a daily driver account as a limited user and only elevate when you overtly need it. (It's even better to use a separate login, as opposed to "Run As...)

    Aren't most UAC bypasses relying on the fact that UAC by default isn't "full sudo"mode - i.e. it allows certain things without prompting?

    Exactly - UAC is like a poor man's Sudo and I never really got the point of it. There is a reason so many people tried to disable it. Daily driver as limited user should be the windows default even if it makes use ability more confusing.
