I plan to give everyone root access. Security is a silly concept anyway

Somebody trusted you enough to give YOU the root password.
Why should you not in turn entrust others with the privileges that will allow

Ouch.
Starting a webserver on port 80 as a normal user is not
a good thing. Sudo helps to limit the security breach somewhat
