I actually remember reading a DEV-Blog not too long ago where a MS Windows Development Leader / Designer / Whatever basically said that UAC was BAD, and that's what the MEANT IT TO BE.

They Designed UAC to annoy the user in an effort to force programmers to write programs that didn't cause UAC Violations (Popups) by doing so programmers would write better programs that were more "secure" in the first place.

Hence why they have an option to turn it off.
