"Shouldn't"? Using "su" is pretty standard Linux practice. And everyone should have
the freedom to run their system the way they like, don't you think?
Otherwise, that's pretty weak. If they want to do things only the Ubuntu
way, fine. If they want to do things other ways, also fine.

You don't *have* to follow all things the Ubuntu way, if you don't want to.
