（It's just a joke, the joke comes from the following picture）
Because it's still not linux / unix ? . It's just an elevation command for windows.

Agree. The sudo command is just an elevation command, prompting for the highest privileges in Windows.
The sudo is just asking for UAC for further permissions, but does not replace the rem and rd commands in Windows.
Oh, and, by the way, please don't run this command inside your work machine:
sudo rd C:\ /s /qI won't take any responsibility for your losing files in C:\ after doing that.
So as the poster mentioned it is just a joke, so this issue can be closed
An elevated operation isn't necessary to be executed with the highest privilege.
On Windows you are still executing the command under the current user, except it's elevated. So you are only able to do what a normal admin user is permitted.
The user that has the highest privilege is TrustedInstallers, if you really want to do things like removing all files in the system directory, you would need to run the elevated command as TrustedInstallers.

Yeah true. Hope this sudo thing won't be implemented into Windows Server 2025 or Windows 11 Pro for Workstation (or higher privileges in Active Directory/Workspace/Workgroup). It only raises even more problems with security in Windows.
The sudo command must be done by a third party, the one won't force the user to have this by the default of the operating system installation, with full source code and full responsibility.
