No root account!
What good would that do. Ridiculous.
I can see not giving somebody root access, but not having root access to give would be like cutting off your thumbs. Go Debian :-(

It is possible to activate the root account.

The level of security largely depends on the users. If they would have a weak
root password or even worse work as root, a sudo system with deactivated root
account it way more secure.
