this is desired behaviour by design of the GNOME/wayland developers:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1274451

apps using sudo or the graphical equivalent will not work under
wayland, they need to be re-written to operate as frontend and backend
processes (so the graphical part always runs as user whle the backend
can elevate its permissions on demand)
