A great question. Could it be that those instruct Linux users to logon as root, but not MacOS X users, since by default, you can't logon as root until you set the root password. Linux distros tend to have that set at install time. On the Mac, unless you enable it, sudo is the ONLY way out of the box to get root access from the terminal.
