Is my Nexus 5 pre-rooted?

edit: I don't really know a lot about this stuff, I was just trying to understand the comment I was responding to. I think I maybe misunderstand something fundamentally.

No, but Google has made sure that doing so is pretty trivial: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_hammerhead

Why would it have to be? It allows you to enable root access without exploits or trying to prevent you from doing the process.

Why would Google pre-root their phones?
