if somebody has user access to your computer, they are already 95% there, so I am not worried about these priv escalation part of the last 5%

If you refer to physical access I wouldn’t say that, I’ve encrypted partition. But if you’re saying just access to my main user inside the OS, then I’d really like if you could elaborate with real examples how can user access do any harm to my system without root access. Real examples please not speculation or theory. Something I can run here right away to see by myself.

If they can already read/write all of your user’s files, then an attacker doesn’t even care about root access anyway most of the time anyway. It’s really only relevant for things like web servers.
