Why is this such a surprise? Ubuntu uses sudo for everything and by
default the root password is disabled. Upon installation a user
password is configured into the sudoers configuration so that
explicitly logging into the root account is not needed. But if you
configure a root password then of course this enables the root login
the same as traditional systems.
