    Anyone with physical access to the computer also has full file system access and could wipe everything, even without password or technical knowledge.

      It’s bad for other reasons too, like a script on a website would launch as root… And also without a password if your disk was encrypted your data is protected even if someone has physical access.

      It is just generally common knowledge to not run around in God mode all day, otherwise sudo wouldn’t exist.
