I guess the OP means, for example, Ubuntu-like setting, where there is a
root account of course but you cannot log in as root (actually, you can
drop to root shell in single user mode or by sudo -i). I believe this
hopefully serves the purpose of preventing the habit of system admins to
log in as root, thus can protect the system from inadvertent behaviour
on the command line (and perhaps GUI too). Probably nothing else in
practice.
