Which is arguable an attack vector. Depending on how careless the user is, there is far more likely a chance that malicious code is found in .vimrc than is found in the VIM executable.

sudoedit runs your editor as you, not root, so unless I'm misunderstanding you, no such attack surface exists.

They’re probably referring to the attack surfaces of the extensions you have loaded in your normal configuration, as opposed to the probably empty environment of root.
