It requires elevated privileges since it has to install things in areas where users dont have the needed privileges. Not to mention that the installer has to work on all versions of windows from windows xp and up. Thanks to microsofts insistence on backward compatibility "this day and age" is pretty much irrelevant to windows.

If you want a non-privileged install, use the portable version of calibre, which does not require elevated privileges.
