Careful. The root user on a Linux system has UUID = 0.
Conventionally in modern Linux the first normal, e.g., non-system, user is assigned UUID = 1000 and by default adduser will assign additional UUIDs sequentially from there.
Other than that, I'm sympathetic to your argument. Indeed, ISTR I and several others stumbled into the local display startup code assuming user pi some years ago but I'm too groggy yet to search for the discussion. Woke up way too early and the coffee isn't made yet.
