The Kali Linux distribution is going to switch to a new security model by defaulting to a non-root user starting with the upcoming 2020.1 release. This change will come with the release of the 2020.1 version scheduled for late January 2020, but users can already test it via the daily builds. They will also be able to test it by downloading and running the weekly images released until Kali 2020.1 will be officially available.
