OK, but you would agree that, if you find yourself in such an
"unprotected enviroment", there is not much difference between typing
the root password and typing the password of a user who can become
root by "sudo su".

No automagic can replace a reasonable behaviour, especially when it
comes to security. The worst aspect of sudo is that it has deluded
users in thinking that the sudo-way is "more secure". Which is totally
BS (I mean Brutally Simplistic, obviously).
