The fact that doas has far fewer users, and examples everywhere show `sudo xyz` as the way to run xyz as root, shows that people do not adapt to a different name.

Microsoft has been trying, for years, to get developers to use Windows systems. This is another good step towards doing so.

The answer isn't to use a different name; the answer is to actually support most of the sudo interface.

But that said, there's a subset of the sudo interface that would cover the majority of what most people need on a regular basis:

-H (change home directory)

-i (act like a login shell, which may not be meaningful on Windows but could at least be ignored for compatibility)

-E (preserve the environment)

-u (set the user to something other than root)

-g (set the group)

-s (just run a shell)
