4 months ago I'm sorry, @GuestSneezeOSDev. I know it's rude but I couldn't resist:
To be clear, no, this suggestion is absolutely not possible to implement. The reason for this boils down to how Minecraft servers work and where they store their data.
Generally, Minecraft servers, not clients, hold the authority over player's status, like their game mode (Creative, Survival, etc.), permission level (OP vs. not OP), and some other things. The server maintains a whitelist of approved operators and checks this list anytime an operator command is used. This list is stored securely on the server side.
What a client-side hack can do is limited by which parts of the game are controlled by the client-side and what inputs the server will accept. You can do almost anything on your local singleplayer world because your client is the server in this case, and it has full authority. But on a normal multiplayer server, the server is someone else's computer, which you don't have access to.
So unless the server specifically allows it, or a major security flaw is found in Minecraft, a client cannot just turn itself into an operator, as all of the data and logic for that is stored securely on the server side in a place that the client cannot reach. It has nothing to do with fears that such a feature might be abused for non-educational purposes. It simply isn't possible.
I hope that clears it up. Sorry again for clowning you but that really is the worst use of that checkbox I have seen in a long time.
