I'm one of the users and I don't need protections, I need freedom.

Then disable it. That's the great thing, when users are knowledgeable enough not to need it, they're also knowledge enough to turn it off.
I personally leave it on, it is a nice "free" fail-safe but you be you.

Your freedom is not being limited, you get control over what applications are allowed to do.
Most machines are effective single-user so security boundaries between user accounts are not very useful.
Restricting the freedom of applications is a good thing, for example I don't want steam games to be able to read my email.
