I can see this happening, I think they just swallowed sudo.

Maybe, any complex solution is open to vulnerabilities.  I
think (hope) these changes would be tested better than
crowdstrike was.  But as things get more complex, the harder
to test :(

I still think these changes Red Hat is pushing is their way
to make things easier for admins, but to me, eventually you
end up with a Windows clone.  Now I wonder if they will "AI"
systemd, I think it is possible since IBM seems to be
getting into AI.
