Convenience. It asks the kernel if you're logged in and if you're allowed to escalate. So, secure enough for a single-user system.

I don't feel safe doing so. Would a script be able to run escalated rights without asking me a password? Is it somewhere displayed that such a process is started (notification in example or at least in the terminal a message?). And even for applications I am directly starting, I want it be explicit to require a password, that I am always aware its escalated root rights the app has now. I can understand your view of convenience and I am "guilty" of some convenience stuff too. But this goes a bit too far for my taste.
