It all comes down to the fact that to do certain tasks you require elevated permissions above and beyond what your web server user has as it runs the web server. There are many options, but sudo is specifically written to achivieve secure temporary elevated permissions. If you roll your own solution you will arrive at the same end result, an application that raises permissions. I see no reason to invent a new wheel.
