Yep, condensation exists. It's a natural occurence we call dew, too. How many hundred kickstarter etc campaigns fantasizing about it do we need? As with creating a vacuum, the problem isn't that there's no process to do it, the problem is diminishing returns. You won't make an arid region less arid by removing its existing moisture.
What disturbs me severely is that the these points are exactly counter to the purpose of the EFF itself. This is not supporting free speech, privacy, or innovation. Skimming the list of "serious accusations", several are deliberate misrepresentations. Yet no vetting is even hinted at; the accusations are presented as the natural authority.
I guess you mean the wheel group (restricting who can su). sudo does have a few useful features in comparison:
1. Permits the use of the user's own password, such that switching permissions need not imply sharing a password.
2. Encourages use for single commands rather than long-running shells, such that each command gets logged and shells aren't forgotten open. (Both through -c being default, and ability to cache permission.)
It also permits setting up specific commands to be accessible, e.g. running manual or remotely triggered backup jobs.
Many of these tasks could be performed by alternate means such as ssh, or even multiple usernames mapped to the same user ID, but each has their own compromises and sudo happened to turn into a popular convenience package.
Also, it led to the pun "pseudo" (similar to fakeroot), which is a good thing in Unix tradition.
