I assume “ACCESS GRANTED” is preferred over your root prompt because it is more legible to the vast majority of viewers.

In fact, I suspect one noble goal in ItsAUnixSystem-style sequences is making sure everybody watching understands what’s going on: The access was granted, dummy.

Of course sometimes that’s gonna conflict with realism.

Indeed, the whole point it to make it easier for the view to get what's going on.
