In windows you can just update the security settings and do anything you want with it.

It is a feature not a bug, that regular non-tech users can't just go about deleting their System32.

I feel like Windows lacks some sort of switch that would clearly identify you as an advanced user allowed to do everything.

May be hidden as a flag in the registry, even.

In Linux, you type sudo.
