I've ran into it, and it's very slightly off-putting. At the same time, I fully understand why they've done it that way, and actually agree with them. The use of flat packs as an alternative makes the problem irrelevant. They maximised openness, while also protecting it from being completely borked up by a newb running random commands.
I'm thankful for the protection, my poor laptop knows why. I was quite surprised that no superuser exists after regular setup. Thought I had forgotten my credentials (again) but they just were never set.
