All other brands I've used so far (from cheap Chinese ones to 50k Cisco ones - with the exception of Fritz), simply force you to set a password on first login.
This is not sufficient for devices that work by default without you ever having to log in.
50k Cisco devices do absolutely nothing when you power them up first time, you need to do a lot of configuration.
But a MikroTik router connected to a line with DHCP will often work with the default config, and the user never has to log in.
Easy, just apply the default "WAN" config only after you set your initial password. Problem solved.
If someone goes out of their way to buy a MikroTik router just to plug it in without ever logging in, then they probably don't even need a MikroTik router and can just use whatever CPE the ISP gave them. There's no benefit to use a MikroTik router without actually doing any configuration on it.

Obviously MikroTik is for power users. They don't have to dumb everything down to appeal to those who don't care to learn how to use it.
