Sorry, but this is a complete BS.

Also reffering to some notes from may be 15y ago does not answer the
question.

The one which urges to go through the installation steps is a good one.
I would also add that OP should go through the mysql/mariadb installation
notes.

Most likely it is due to the fact they want to use phpmyadmin with root
access from the web browser, which I think is disabled unless you set
password for root.
