I know that stuff like sudo exists, but I'm mostly asking about the

There are "privileged users". Those with a uid in what is shown by
(as root) "grep SYS_UID /etc/login.defs".
The only benefit I'm aware of is the ability to increase the priority
for their own processes. See "man renice". There are probably other
benefits, but I don't recall any others off hand.
