> sudo is certainly not the only player, there's also doas. This shows people can adapt to another name
The fact that doas has far fewer users, and examples everywhere show `sudo xyz` as the way to run xyz as root, shows that people do not adapt to a different name.
Microsoft has been trying, for years, to get developers to use Windows systems. This is another good step towards doing so.
The answer isn't to use a different name; the answer is to actually support most of the sudo interface.
But that said, there's a subset of the sudo interface that would cover the majority of what most people need on a regular basis:
-H (change home directory)
-i (act like a login shell, which may not be meaningful on Windows but could at least be ignored for compatibility)

-E (preserve the environment)
-u (set the user to something other than root)
-g (set the group)
-s (just run a shell)
