No need to put effort in producing an strace. :) Both sudo
implementations do have to consult PAM even in non-interactive mode. You
can see this e.g. by setting variables in /etc/security/pam_env.conf.

Title:
  sudo --non-interactive is interactive

Status in rust-sudo-rs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The --non-interactive flag does not work, it will try to do PAM auth,
  which then blocks because my PAM is configured to do FIDO2:

  jak at jak-t14-g3 ~/P/U/rust-coreutils-0.2.2 (ubuntu/devel)> sudo --non-interactive echo x
  [sudo] Please touch the FIDO authenticator.
  x
  jak at jak-t14-g3 ~/P/U/rust-coreutils-0.2.2 (ubuntu/devel)> sudo.ws --non-interactive echo x
  sudo: a password is required
