You can see deleted edits you can speedy stuff without tagging and you
can block without going through AIV. You can edit protected templates
without messing around. reverting is less effort. Certian types of
page moves are only posible for admins

On the less official side people tend to think twice before attacking
you and you tend to get a free pass when it comes to being trusted.

On the against policy but can be done anyway if you are smart. You can:

Speedy rather than prod
Block new users who are being anoying
