Because it is useful to be able to log in as root in single user mode.
It is generally only used for admin/repair purposes, and not for every
day work.

Because you haven't told the system to ask for a password. In
/etc/ttys, change:
console noneunknown off secure
to:
console noneunknown off insecure
Next time you enter single user mode, you will be prompted for the root
password.
You can test it by running `shutdown now'.
