Why do you need to use root?  Only experts are allowed to do that.  If you
have to ask why Ubuntu doesn't allow root accounts, you aren't smart
enough to use it as root.

Ubuntu, as all Unixoid operating systems, does have a root account and
it also does allow you to gain root privileges. It doesn't set a
password for root by default, so you need to use sudo to gain
privilege. But nothing forbids you from setting a password for root
later and use the root account.

I don't know where the myth you're citing originates from. Ubuntu is
not that different from oder GNU/Linux OSses.
