Your point certainly stands, a lot of privilege escalation occurs because of sudo configurations like that. The idea that fine-grained access control necessarily implies that you're using something like Ansible or Jenkins for everything isn't necessarily true though, there are plenty of reasons why you wouldn't want to use those packages specifically, or if it's just an old-school timeshared computer. Sudo regulates those other utilities, and not the other way around. Even if using something like Ansible sudo is great because of the logging that it provides. Sudo works as a standard way to regulate admin (or other group) access, whether automated or not. That's why Ansible uses sudo as the become_method by default.
