What purpose does this server when bypassing is as easy as typing sudo?
Forgive the naivety here but I am a rookie and I'm sure there has to be a good reason for this, and I'd like to know that.

Security! ;-)
Only admin users can do sudo and even those have to provide a password, i.e. if you leave your screen for a minute, nobody can do sudo without the password.
sudowhen you can just do the same thing by typingsuonce?"sudodoes is make sure you think before you do something that may be potentially dangerous if done wrong (typo, etc.)
