--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Running apps as root/sudo is inherently insecure, causes many bugs with
theming, and is not supported at all on Wayland. The correct course of action
is for apps to request elevated permission for user actions that require it, at
the exact moment when the user performs such an action. Kate already does this.
