Because the 5.3.7 is a
full update which
overwrites the entire main partition, including the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files - and Amazon doesn't give a damn about the default passwords that we'd like to have.*
(*) In fact, for once I agree with them that disabling the root password per default is a sensible choice.
