I don't think you can compare metrics of Linux servers against Windows Servers AND Desktops.

At least on Windows Desktops I'd say most of security incidents today are initiated by the end-user in front of that Desktop, which creates an entirely different attack-surface than a unattended server maintained by someone working almost always in the field of IT.

To install programs on my work PC i need admin account. Except for (rolling drums) Teams.

You need an admin account to install programs for "all users" odds are the teams install (and others) are local-account installs. Not that it's much better. You can disable execution on user profiles from the directory level.

Have you looked into using scoop? It installs everything into the user profile and won’t require elevation.
