How macOS protects your data from malware
"admin users have elevated privileges, and an admin password is required for many operations in macOS."
I still question this statement. The privileges are basically the same when you log into an Admin or Standard account when the System Settings are locked. What elevates the Admin user is the ability to authenticate actions a Standard user cannot. That's how I understand it. Also, using a Standard account doesn't provide any additional protection if that user has an Admin password, since all of the same actions can be performed in a standard account, like installing software and sudo terminal commands.
