Sudo is considered third-party software in HP-UX (HP merely builds it and doesn't install by default), AIX (not provided by IBM and therefore not supported) and Solaris (third-party software without any support in versions =< 10). About the only exception is Solaris 11 which provides sudo in default install (and it is configured the same way as in Ubuntu by default). Considering that primary usage of sudo is to provide controlled privilege escalation to uid=0, using unsupported (therefore - not updated unless local sysadmins care about security) sudo on these OSes is basically equivalent to giving everyone uid=0.
