I believe it's mostly years of "creeping featuritis" but I don't really know the history in detail. Just read the sudoers(5) manpage and let the sense of hopelessness slowly overtake you.

There's irony in the man page telling you not to despair. There's an xkcd about it: https://xkcd.com/1343/ https://xkcd.com/1343/ By comparison, the manual to doas.conf is pretty short: https://man.openbsd.org/doas.conf.5 https://man.openbsd.org/doas.conf.5 It seems like OpenBSD was also stuck on an older version of sudo when it was removed. It's possible they just weren't having all the churn of such a large tool? But then they also missed a bunch of important fixes: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-bugs&m=142270265216628&w=2 https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-bugs&m=142270265216628&w=2 More: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=143465998814989&w=2 https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=143465998814989&w=2
