A lot of programmers ignore the fact that they're serving a business function.
I think your point is very valid, it has got to be simple and increase productivity instead of impede it. Using something better but getting stuck in the minutia every day is a waste, and not something anybody in senior leadership should ever approve.
Pfft.... 10 minutes to compile, no sweat, not even enough time to brew and drink a tea/coffee.
For example... I have Steam and Chromium happily running in a Flatpak install and it has zero more privileges that my non-sudo user account has.
No sudo in sight and for a start this gives me peace of mind. Zero trust needs to be a bigger deal in the Linux community.
