With great power comes great responsibility. Root user gives you complete power over the system and hence it should be used with great cautious. Root user can access system files and run commands to make changes to the system configuration. And hence, an incorrect command may destroy the system.
This is why Ubuntu and other Ubuntu-based distributions lock the root user by default to save you from accidental disasters.
