With great power comes great responsibility - What happened between 1993 and 2004 and sudo ?

Today I learned that the third line in the sudo warning was only added in 2004. Is there perhaps a clear event of history facts or cultural changes between 1993 and 2004 that made the software developers add that line ?

  • For instance a (silly?) made up example : Monty Python became very popular on TV in some countries where the software developers lived and improved critical thinking for some.

It was added in January 2004 and is a reference to the quote in Spider Man.

That’s the catchphrase of old uncle Ben
And if you missed it, don’t worry they’ll say the line
Again and again and again
