Delete and undelete rights may very well be controversial, particularly on the English Wikipedia, where some deleted revisions that are not strictly "personal information", but may very well need to stay private, can be viewed by administrators. Perhaps the users are trusted globally, but this could be a serious concern, potentially.
To expand on my point as well, viewing deleted revisions is one of the few controversial administrative tasks that is not logged publicly, so this is even more of a concern.
And abuse of it is the entire reason Oversight exists.
