Note that this does not check for the root/user account being locked. Apparently Anaconda is just fine with a system that only has a root account with password set, which is locked. I guess this could still be considered fine for some use cases ?
There are various cases...cloud images and ARM disk images come this way out of the box, I believe. Cloud platforms have their own mechanisms for setting up initial auth to the system, ARM disk images boot straight into initial-setup and require setting of a new root password or creation of an admin user at that point...
and of course for the last few releases, Workstation installs work much like ARM disk images, user creation / root PW set is disabled during initial install and you are forced through g-i-s to create an admin user at first boot.
