Maybe we have to consider two distinct use-cases:
1. An admin maintaining stuff on a server without knowing the password of 'root' or other similar privileged user. By default grant group 'wheel' the right to do this.
2. An desktop user invoking a setup component which requires more privileges. AFAICS using su with root password for this use-case would be sufficient.
However, when you google for the way to do something, the answer always include sudo this, sudo that.
Just referring to Google foo is not a decent requirements engineering. Whatever solution openSUSE comes up with the above use-cases have to considered more thoroughly.
So people use sudo. We can no longer change this, and working differently is bad for users. This statement is too broad to be useful.
