However, when you google for the way to do something, the answer always include sudo this, sudo that. So people use sudo. We can no longer change this, and working differently is bad for users.
On the desktop it is maybe nice to take into account what the desktop environments assume. In KDE Plasma the user account module in systemsettings has the option to set the type of user to "standard user" or "administrator". The latter adds the user to the group "wheel", which in the default openSUSE config does not do anything.
