Yep. And in real life no one with a Mac ever runs as root. That's what makes it inherently more secure than Windows.

Can a house with an open front door really be broken into? It's more like they allowed allowed someone to walk around on the lawn and they broke into what was supposed to be a secure facility.

Like the early Seinfeld episode where Jerry's house is robbed when Kramer leaves the door open. "No, I invested in the deadbolt. It is the best deadbolt on the market and really has only one design flaw. The door must be CLOSED!"

Anyone that wanted to hack the machine was given access to the machine through a local account (which could be accessed via SSH), so the Mac mini wasn’t hacked from outside — root access was actually gained from a local user account. Kind of like "breaking into a house from the inside".
