User Account Control
UAC is actually an important system that allows more people to run as standard users by default until they get a privilege escalation dialog. Without UAC you need to be logged in as an administrator constantly, which means apps are running as administrative by default. While there are criticisms of it, no substantive criticism suggests that it just a frivolous feature designed to annoy the user.
