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.
