I don’t get it, the article shows it in 2 steps why the 5 step verbosity??

It seems in Big Sur the file you need to edit is not writable. So you need to make it writable first, edit it, and then change permissions back to read-only.

This doesn't seem to be strictly true - the two-line solution worked exactly as expected for me on 11.2.1. I used nano instead of vi (personal preference), but it worked nonetheless.

Maybe that's the difference. I was using vi, and not nano.

Have confirmed that using 'sudo nano /etc/pam.d/sudo' works fine.

No need for the verbosity when nano works I guess. :S
