You’re totally right, but I wasn’t assuming they had a rooted phone.
Is there any difference between the native shell and Termux’s? I just installed fish and chsh’ed it to default: after syncing over all my dotfiles it looks and acts as expected.

I did the same, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
I don’t know for sure, but if I hat to guess I’d say that Termux uses chroot to emulate a more Linuxy experience by changing your root to /data/data/com.termux/files/ with it’s own bin, etc, lib and so on directories
Using su you escape that chroot and start using your roms root directory at /
I might be totally wrong with this, but that should hopefully clarify the way it behaves
You can totally use sudo if you’re rooted. Using su also allows you to acces your native shell instead of Termuxs
