"Let's give our new command line app the same name as a popular linux command even though it's not the same app and behaves differently. I'm sure our users would appreciate it when they have problem with the app and trying to search the solution later."

Sudo is the "please" of Linux.
Windows is not in sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
I bet you not even sudo could remove edge. edge is like the breathing lungs and thinking brain and balls of computer
"This action is forbidden. The incident has been reported."
And then MS sends goons to your house to break your legs
And, knowing Windows, won't let you do as much as a real sudo would anyway. There are so many f-ing things that even Admin is not allowed to do on a Windows box, it is simply annoying. "Oh no, you cannot remove Edge! This would threaten the stability of the universe!"
Do you remember when Microsoft tried to patent sudo?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
It is an ergonomic and familiar solution for users who want to elevate a command without having to first open a new elevated console.
Yeah Microsoft, how exactly is it familiar for Windows users? 😜
Although you have to admire that PowerShell at least attempts to define a common set of verbs and vocabulary.
The trick to powershell is to make incredibly liberal use of tab completion to speed yourself up. Or make aliases for commands you use really often.
Sudo rm -rf c: --no-preserve-root
More like sudo rm -rf C: --no-preserve-C-drive
This has been needed since Windows XP SP2.
Glad to see they've finally started doing their backlog tickets.
Honestly, it's hardly newsworthy given how sudo was a thing in windows for quite a while now. I use it pretty often, especially sudo pwsh for elevated shells.
Its been a thing for a while on windows 10 as well https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo
I been using gsudo for quite sometime, the default way to leverage privaliges in Windows is cancer, the whole shell is tbh.
Do ssh-copy-id next please.
