Should developer have any admin rights by default anymore?

I worked in bank for a while without admin. In many years, the only tool that needed admin rights to run was the Visual Studio C++ Debugger.

Debuggers were one one, but also some other development tools just wouldn't run unless the developer had admin. Virtualization does mitigate some stuff.
