Oh yes, some people seem to have incredibly strange requirements. I have
(perhaps not entirely l-) managed to learn to resist arguing with them,
it only took a few decades...

if you don't know how to run things as root, maybe you should not do that

I have on, a number of occasions, found myself cleaning up the mess
resulting from someone having been given a technological tool they
didn’t really know how to use. (And at least once had to get a tradesman
in to sort out a mess of my own creation, but the less said about that
the better.)
