You might want to educate yourself about the actual reasons, the
background and the discussions before making grandiose statements.

There are very valid reasons why user authentication for certain tasks
is needed in a modern OS. There are several ways to achieve this, and
Ubuntu (like Apple) has followed the path of authenticating for specific
actions instead of a second account and password. There are valid
reasons for this, too.
