Also the preference should actually describe it better

> Enable Sudo

> Enables the sudo command

If I were a scammer I could make up an acronym or something that sudo means and trick someone into turning this on because the toggle doesn't actually describe what it is so I can just weave my own narrative.

I think you're overthinking this. At the point that the scammer is getting the victim to change settings, overcoming UAC is not the problem.
