Actually, it may well be a security feature. Note that all systems used to be expected to have a root, an account name that is easy to guess with 100% accuracy. Not having root removes the surest account on any system.
There's nothing stopping you from changing the superuser's name from

UID 0 identifies the root account in Linux.
