Can someone explain what this is / how it works to someone who has done a considerable amount of programming but lacks this kind of operating system level knowledge?

I was under the impression that ‘sudo’ was baked into the entire system. Like ‘cd’ or ‘ps’. How exactly can you just swap out sudo? Does that involve swapping out chmod as well?

Sudo isn't baked into the system. It's an application.
