Because, people who ask this question are typically way too inexperienced in
their use of a Ubuntu system to be trusted with root and would render their
system broken beyond recovery.

With sudo powers you can do exactly the same: sudo -i

 A second obvious reason would be, because no-one has ever given
a GOOD reason to have a root password!

Filesystem broken beyond fsck -a ?
