One obvious problem with removing permissions on all this stuff is
there are sometimes situations where an ordinary user legitimately

Seems to me like setting up that user with sudo access to mount

locations?
You might not want them to mount the filesystem with root
permissions. Filesystems with the "user" flag in /etc/fstab can be
mounted by ordinary users, and the mount point will be owned by that
user. This is often desirable for things like flash drives or SMB
shares.
