correct me if im wrong, but just because user is a part of WHELL group does
that mean he/she is a root ? or equivlent of root ?

I know lot of things like "su -" may require you to be wheel group but Im
not sure why a user has to be non wheel group in order to log in.

I think using SUDO is better than putting any user in to wheel too. but
thats just me.

To my knowledge the wheel group has no "special" privileges and it's only purpose is to allow a normal user to become (su) root, thats it.
