Why did you remove > the MariaDB root account from your system? These systems have been around for a very long time (since lenny IIRC), when the MySQL/MariaDB packages switched from password access to socket it broke several use cases like external access with MySQL Workbench as used by some of my colleagues, replication monitoring checks, etc. Hence password access is still used on those systems, and debian.cnf is updated accordingly. The root account is not removed, just modified to use a password. Like it did for many years by default.
