(Genuine question here, as it just seems like a lot of extra effort considering this CT and another CT/vote later on to return her rights etc.) It isn't really much effort, but having GramsJ as a sysop might result in users unintentionally asking her questions, even though she cannot reply. Plus, if you go to the list of sysops (here), the count is inflated by inactive bots and her own account, which gives an inaccurate impression that we have loads of sysops on the wiki.
