Kali is not really meant as a general purpose desktop OS. Everything runs as root, IIRC (been years since I was pentesting).

  Until relatively recently it did. Now there's a default kali user and you escalate via sudo, at least on the live systems.

    Kali used to run everything as root. Kali now has you run everything as root.
