I understand what you're saying, but you should only use admin (uid =1) for things that absolutely require that level of access (like site/module updates as the most obvious example). For most other use cases you want a fully enabled admin role, but could have just one user with that role. I would expect many sites use that module to provide that kind of access. Having said that, we do have multiple admins for our sites, but typically a primary point of contact. That allows anyone on our team to potentially do the admin work (without sharing passwords), but one person is usually responsible.
As you point out, only UID 1 can update a module or Drupal with update.php. Do not attempt this with another user.
