"sudo" is useful for blind people and forgetful people to avoid the terminal being in "root" mode. All sorts of damage or at least unexpected things can happen when commands are given in a root terminal and "sudo" minimizes this danger. I don't always check to see if my terminal has # or $ at the start indicating if it is a USER terminal or an ADMINISTRATOR terminal (root). I've been lazy in the past, and didn't use "sudo" thinking I was a "big boy" and wanted to wear "big boy pants" only to run commands under root that made my system unusable. 73 DR
