sudo has more features that are good ... like keeping authentication for
some time or specific roles.

Thats why openSUSE keeps it secure this way (by using the root password).

You can of course change this for yourself.

This has been discussed to dead for openSUSE already, but if you want
to discuss this further, move it to opensuse-security at opensuse.org.
