It would also be a royal pain in the ass, since normally you use your

I do,
and all other Mac OS X users I know well enough to know their
workflow do too): normal working account, admin account, root account.
You run OSX apps as root? What ones?
I know I only have one account that I use regularly: an admin account.
Why would I want to use root regularly (i can sudo anything I need) and
I don't see the point of a "normal" working account.
Unfortunately a malicious application has a window of opportunity
(default 5 mins) to run sudo after you do. That's the point of a normal
account.
