Someone in the Debian hierarchy decided that root Dolphin was too much of a security risk. So the problem has propagated to at least a half dozen other distros (Ubuntu,Kubuntu, Mint) to name a couple.

To my knowledge, this is not true!
It is the Dolphin upstream team which implements the blocking mechanism. In some of the many threads on this issue flooding the internet there are given instructions how to compile your personal version of Dolphin after having changed (removed) the respective code in the Dolphin source code, in order to finally make it run as user root again.
