UAC is no different from having a sudo password. They both have security measures. Sudo actually has fairly granular permissions if you can be bothered to set them up.
Windows still allows you to modify system files it's just more difficult. If you want a Linux system that doesn't let you do that those exist too, they are called immutable linux distros.
Windows does contain DRM protected files that it will not allow you to touch. Some games on the Microsoft Store for example.
Not to counter your point, just that I find it insane.
