Why does the method you linked to, recommend using the "su" method, that

Somebody wasn't thinking. If I'd have written that, I'd have specified using su first, followed by the rest of the commands. You only need su -c if you only want to run one command as root, not a set of them.

Do those commands not respond to "sudo"?

Yes. If you're going to use su at all, use it correctly; if not, you might as well use sudo.
It's a perfectly valid way to list commands that need to be run as root when you're writing a tutorial, without making any assumptions about the skill level of the user.
