FYI: If you leave out root password on install, it instead sets your user up with sudo privileges.
How can a new user know that? Same with the domain name that Debian installer asks you to enter.
FWIW: I'm not arguing for or against Debian as a beginner friendly distribution. Just mentioning that you don't have to set up sudo manually.
I installed Debian at least 3 times and don't remember ever seeing that message.
It has for sure been there for at least a decade now. I think most people autopilot through OS installs.
