What's so secure about sudo?

Good question :)

For a standalone system, used by a single user, it can be fairly
easily argued that 'sudo' vs. 'su' is redundant.

The advantages of 'sudo' come in when a system is accessed by multiple
users, who's errors might be costly.
And, as mentioned, when coupled with a creative /etc/sudoers.d/ setup,
can provide a system with useful execution limitation, accountability,
and tractability of action taken by users.
