--disable-setuid-sandbox is an option used for UC Mode on Linux. The warning message itself is harmless. There's a command-line option that removes such warnings, but using it would lead to detection, so having the warning message is better than the alternative.

You can see how commonly it was used with the original undetected-chromedriver:

There's more info on that option in the Chromium documentation:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/linux/suid_sandbox_development.md

Using that option prevented some issues on Linux, so it's there. I don't know all the specifics about it.
