The option is useful for single user machines where user and root is
the same
person, so nothing to hide or give. The default is intended for beginners. It can be an option. Why default? Does openSUSE want to be as much windows-like as possible? So the new users feel at home? Autologin and root password as default?
I really don't understand the fuss about these options. If you don't like them, just uncheck. And no matter *nix or windows, in the end you want ease of use and security. Multiplication of passwords is *not* a security solution.
