If my guess is correct, please note this comment from afterboot(8) man page:

For security reasons, it is bad practice to log in as root during regular
use and maintenance of the system. Instead, administrators are encour-
aged to add a "regular'' user, add said user to the "wheel'' group,
then use the su(1) and sudo(8) commands when root privileges are re-
quired....
