One surely would not set the admin password upon startup of
any random client. This is a misunderstanding.

This is done during bootstrap* but _could_ be split out if a
compelling case is made for that.

IMHO this is a prejudice. A well-configured SuSE does just as
much privilege separation as any Debian.

IMHO setting up users is not what we would do first thing on
client startup. Client startup is client startup is client
startup. *Client configuration* can be done then, of course.
There may, however, be a plugins for setting up users which
would ask for the pertinent admin password.
