As I did a research on this topic some months ago for another project: Most security experts do disagree with you. And even Ubuntu writes in their security documentation, that the sudo rules and not having a root user that you can log into is the weak spot in their security story and was not done for security reasons, but to avaoid that new users do everything as root and destroy their system by accident. So for supportability reasons.
They probably copied that from MacOSX.
