I know it provides a fake root environment for work, but why would you want that?

No, sudo allows root privileges on a per-user, per-command, and per-host basis.

Package: sudo
Description: Provide limited super user privileges to specific users
Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root
privileges to users and log root activity.  The basic philosophy is to give
as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done.
