really bad
This service has completely messed up my KDE neon installation, to the point of having to use Timeshift to revert. The first time I clicked "Open as root" in the service menu and entered my user password, nothing happened. The second time, it did work (opened a new Dolphin window as root). The third time, my plasma session crashed and most KDE settings were destroyed. Not good! (yes, I know what "root" means, I pretty much AM root in my whole LIFE :D so I didn't do anything that has to do with having "too much root". The destruction ensued merely after simply using "Open as root" three times, without doing anything else.)

Though this is sadly missing with KDE (the ability, for example, to open up your /usr/share/backgrounds folder and take out one or two naff wallpapers, making dolphin do things you otherwise must do in terminal...
This just didn't work for me. I browsed to /usr/share and selected 'open as root', entered password and ...... NOTHING happened.

ugh
It's a security hole and makes users interact with their system in harmful patterns.

Yes, it is. But Dolphin itself warns you with "Running Dolphin as root can be dangerous. Please be careful."
Of course it should be used "sparingly". I use Dolphin (or Krusader) as root maybe once every three months :·)
Basically, if I have to copy/move *a lot* of files to protected places.

Минздрав уже не предупреждает :-) он просто закрыл возможность выполнения dolphin c правами root начиная с версии 17 (так-же как и возможность выполнения каte и kwrite) :-( .
PS На Madrive Lx 3 Zver все по прежнему работает, хотя версия 19, лишь выдаёт грозное предупреждение и окрашивает экран красным цветом при входе под логином root в ос.

Maybe, kdesu is installed on your system, but it doesn't work. To make it work, you need to create a simlink:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf5/kdesu /usr/bin/kdesu
After which it start working normally. Try it. In my KDE Neon it helped.
