WASM does provide a level of security benefit to end users. As now developers no longer have things like direct memory access or low level api access, it's all required to be done through the simconnect SDK. While it does add more complexity for developers, it has the added benefit security for the end user. Where Asobo went wrong was not having proper abstraction layers for a number of things that developers needed, like the recently added datacomm feature, camera api, native simconnect support etc etc. WASM wasn't the problem area, Asobo slow-paced support for the "forced" transition to WASM was.

It sounds like an interesting way to set up a sim rig, as noted "your organization" in that warning dialog makes it sound like you have a domain and your machine is a workstation in that domain. Or maybe there is some virtual machine thing going on here. Hard for me to know without being on your machine. It could just be a matter of permissions on that folder. When you right click on the WASM folder, and select "Properties", Security tab. This should pop up a dialog/subwindow. There should be an "Edit" button in the middle of that dialog. Under edit, select the "Users" group and then see if "Full Control" checkbox is checked. If it's not, if you check that checkbox it might allow you to copy out of the WASM folder -- assuming that's what you're trying to do. If it doesn't then your machine might be pretty locked down, or at least it's probably something JetLine could help you with...they set up the machine, they build PC's for sims, they should be able to help.

I just tried this. I’ll post some screenshots. There are four “Users” and they all have Full Control already ticked. The WASM folder has a lock icon on it. I’ll have to contact Jetline. Jack Sawyer

Why is there an option to "run as administrator" if that is not the case?

No, that's not true, Windows certainly doesn't think every user is part of an organization. Run as administrator is because windows is a multi-user operating system (like basically every OS these days and for over 25 years now), and when you have multiple users, you also have to ensure permissions are managed (you don't want every user to have access to every other user's files, that defeats the purpose of a multi-user system). And when you have multiple users, some with limited rights.. you have to have a superuser/administrator user that can do anything to anyone. Linux is exactly the same, and I'm pretty certain you don't think that Linux of all things (all distros) is a "corporate-focused" OS. Linux calls it the root user or the superuser, Windows (and MacOS) call it the Admin user. If you want a single user OS these days - HaikuOS comes to mind. No users. You turn on the machine and use it. Like MSDos back in the day. 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen
