Sorry, I didn't know there are different versions of pcmanfm. Anyway, best way to handle files owned by root or other users is via the terminal, no need to do it on another computer. As for the security implications of running graphical apps as root, see the warning on the top of the page of this ArchWiki entry about the topic and follow the linked quote if you want to get deeper into it, no conspiracy about it and also no real need to do it in the first place, especially not for developers. If, however, you are determinded to run graphical apps as root under Wayland, check out the ArchWiki article or the second link I posted before.
