Having graphical/GTK applications started under sudo is a security
issue, the fact that you know some example of program doing so doesn't
make it a good idea. The right way to give access to user-restricted
action would be through polkit integration (which is what update-
manager, software-center, control-center gnome-disks, etc are doing) and
not by having the UI being under privileges as well.
In any case feel free to report that bug to GNOME since they are the
ones writting nautilus, Ubuntu is not likely going to look at issues
from non recommended usecases
