Probably because things expect sudo to exist

    alpine doesn't have sudo. hell, neither does debian, by default

    Yes and how many people daily-drive those?

    debian is one of the most common distros

    Completely anecdotal but I'm the only person I know who has a stock Debian install that isn't a server, and it's on a laptop that hasn't been connected to the internet for the better part of a decade. I know people who use debian-based distros or use it occasionally for one thing or another (dev, testing, temporary,...) but at least in my experience, the numbers are approaching gentoo in terms of actual dailydriver desktop usage. I'm sure my experience is probably abnormal, but still...

    distrowatch puts debian at number 4 or 5 consistently in its popularity graphs. which is also a rather flimsy number, but it's something.
