I think there is a difference between administering a large number of
Workstations (as in a computer used at the desk by one or two
induviduals) and administering a large number of Servers simply
because tighter controls are placed on the latter. I know of a few
large places where sudo is king and the root passwords to the servers
are randomised and kept in a safe (even if it's an electronic safe!).

At a former employer, users had sudo rights on their own workstation
to do pretty much anything (and similar PolicyKit and ConsoleHelper
configs) but were never told their own root password.
