That is an idiotic assumption on a networked multi user system.
User needs an admin? Call tech support, admin handles it remotely via ssh.
If the desktop assumes sudo, that might just end up with the user getting to talk to HR and IT security.

Arguably running a desktop on a networked multi-user system is the idiotic decision. Or not using an immutable OS like #guix, which allows users to safely install their own package requirements, is the idiotic part? Either way, the problem is architectural (and deep!), not with the desktop per se.
