There are lots of benefits to ACEi meds. They are both cardioprotective and renal protective, as they can prevent cardiac remodeling.

They would be one medication that you could argue would be extremely beneficial to give to the population at-large before problems develop. There are actually a few, well-tolerated medications that deal with metabolic and cardiovascular health that we could use sort of prophylactically, especially given that we are apparently using a medication designed around better regimen adherence and glycemic control for type 2 diabetics, GLP-1 agonists, as first-line medications for weight-loss.
