I'm going to take a guess that reading files like /etc/shadow are 'tripwires', which trigger a review by an engineer.

With seccompbpf it's pretty simple to have systemwide tripwires on certain files/syscalls/network operations. Even if the attacker gains root, your tripwire will probably alert you before they can disable it.
