Spec URL: https://github.com/Willtech/groot/blob/build_noarch/groot.spec 
SRPM URL: https://github.com/Willtech/groot/raw/refs/heads/build_noarch/groot-1.3.0-1.fc43.src.rpm
Description: `groot` is a lightweight BASH utility that behaves like a more conversational version of `sudo`. It provides two modes: running a single command with elevated privileges or dropping into a full root login shell.

I fail to see the value of this package? Why use groot instead of sudo or su?
