Why is that the case? Is there no admin or adm group for the user (see
p2p0.conf GROUP=admin and start.sh updating that if needed)? What allows
the specific user to run sudo? Is that yet another group that start.sh
should change the group into?

This could obviously be done to force the control interface connection
to work, but the goal of that GROUP=admin is to avoid this type of need
in the first place.
