I love Doas

Why should I use doas instead of sudo? It's not even less typing.
- It is a much simpler program than sudo. A simpler and less complicated implementation means less vulnerabilities.
  
  sudo had some serious vulnerabilities in the past: https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2021/01/27/cve-2021-3156/
  
  Can you actually remove sudo from a system without breaking stuff? I can image there's some stuff, scripts etc that depends on it. Unless you can alias it away?
What other distros than Alpine uses doas by default?
- There's a huge amount of Gentoo users using it, but there's OpenBSD who use it by default
  
  Claims of there being a huge number of Gentoo users. Are there 3 digit numbers of them?
