What features do I sacrifice by turning off "Machine with root privileges" when setting up a Podman machine in Podman Desktop on macOS?

When setting up a Podman machine in Podman Desktop app, one of the features is "Machine with root privileges". I am inclined to disable that because I am using Podman for safety, to insulate contained software isolated away from my host Mac. The documentation says nothing helpful: >Machine with root privileges: Enable to use the rootful connection by default. Required to use Kind on Windows. If I disable "Machine with root privileges", what will I be giving up?
