To some extent, sure, but we don't have to make it easy to get root access. Encryption on hard drives, removing the USB auto-play feature from windows, having to enter the PIN on a WP7 device before being able to deploy a developer app over USB, ect, are such examples that can make it considerably harder to get root access despite having the physical machine.
