I do not comprehend how having a "root" user account has anything to do with 
object-orientation whatsoever.

The only thing "magic" about uid 1 is that the user_access() function always 
returns true for uid 1, and the update.php script (normally) only runs for 
uid 1.  There's nothing else special about it, and certainly nothing that 
involves objects.
