Mail delivery to root does not work in postfix, I don't remember the
exact reason, but I think it is because it uses procmail for local
delivery. The postfix devs do not trust any external (to them) tool,
so they refuse to run procmail as root to send email to root...
therefore, mail to root has to be sent instead to a user.

Hmm, can't say I've ever encountered that problem. Postfix has no
problem running procmail,

And delivery via procmail is not enabled by default either.
