Erm, it’s the other way - if you disable it, those checks would always fail, because the component responsible for elevating permissions is missing.

And, honesty, I don’t see how those prompts (or functionality they gate) make the system more useful.

If those checks always fail, you've now lost that functionality to do anything requiring elevated permissions and made your system less useful. You could get it back by installing a suid root tool like sudo/doas but that opens the same hole again that elevates these problems from a crash into a CVE.

I don't want or need popup permission prompts. If something needs to run as root, I run it as root from the console, as God intended. In the process I am assuredly avoiding all sorts of potential security vulnerabilities, such as this polkit code which is not installed on my system. Now get off my lawn.
