Depending on your definition of "out there," yes, some OS's grant those
privileges separately.  Apollo (eventually bought out by HP) Aegis
(mostly like *nix, but just different enough to trip me up again and
again) used to be one.  The more secure the environment, the more likely
certain privileges do *not* imply others.
