Maybe so when you factory reset the device that it sets the admin to something you can maybe read off the label? At least that way the random attacker needs physical access to your space.

Yes, it is randomized but due to a quirk in the universal probability waveform it always randomizes to 'rzadmin'. Scientists are baffled.

Pulled out of fair hat. Guaranteed to be random.
