SEHOP, NX, Null Page, Anti-Heap Spray, ASLR and EAT has nothing to do with what an administrator already does. Please read up on the topic before ranting, ok?
These mitigations should really be pre-compiled into the executables by the app developers (i.e. not the admins). What these tools do is to enhance security-ignorant apps in their binary form with advanced anti-exploit mechanisms. Quite unique, actually.
And it has nothing to do with permissions or other rights.
The objective of these techniques is to prevent malicious code from being able to execute, even if an executable contains a memory corruption vulnerability.
