Just run everything as root to circumvent security problems.
Seriously, it is as if there would be a CVE because sudo allows privilege escalation.
Of course such widely spread tools should be audited and have eyes on them. On the other hand many people are tired of security strategies because half of the time it is about a platform doing it for market domination. Our thoroughly shitty mobile OS come to mind. This age verification crap isn't too different, just slightly different goals where real security isn't really considered too much.
