It's a perfectly valid way to list commands that need to be run as root when you're writing a tutorial, without making any assumptions about the skill level of the user.
I would have seen nothing wrong with using sudo before each command because that's how sudo works. I don't use it myself because I got into the habit of using su long before sudo came with any distro I used, but I see nothing wrong with it being used in a tutorial where, as you point out, you can't know your readers skill level. (I sometimes get the impression that there are Linux users who are aware of su but are afraid to use it, possibly because they started out on Ubuntu. I don't judge them; I just shrug and get on with whatever I'm doing.)
