True, but both call $EDITOR here.

Yes, as a default when no other editor is specified. That means no
$EDITOR variable visible to visudo and no default specified
in /etc/sudoers. It does NOT mean that visudo is hard coded to use nano,
merely that the Gentoo devs have set the fallback to something they
know will be on a default Gentoo install. That seems a sensible decision
to me.
