It was the early days, so things were not very sophisticated, we were just all happy things worked. In this model, there was no real update mechanism, just a bunch of pentesting tools living in the /pentest/ directory, that you could use as part of assessments. In its original form, BackTrack (v1-4) was a Slackware live based distro intended to be ran from a CDROM. However, you will notice this change in the weekly images starting now. This change will be part of the 2020.1 release, currently scheduled for late January. As part of our evaluation of Kali tools and policies we have decided to change this and move Kali to a “traditional default non-root user” model.
For years now, Kali has inherited the default root user policy from BackTrack.
