Yeah I was thinking the same thing, probably that is why they ship those defaults, better UX.

Don't call a security flaw a UX feature please.

Passwords are both security flaws and UX features -- they're inherently flawed, cannot be fixed, and are the only authentication system most people can use successfully.

Security is always in tension with usability.

I think the flaw marcoamorales intended to point out is how sudo doesn't always re-prompt for a password.
