If you follow the Arch installation guide it'll get you to a working system, but you'll need to install sudo yourself. It's not strictly required so it's not installed with the essential packages (or even the packages recommended for most users in the guide).

Surely any user planning on using arch would want sudo. I mean if Ubuntu desktop didn't come with sudo I'd understand but arch? Linux From Scratch was a thing when I was still playing with Linux (rather than just using it) and that also was very much an if you want it, install it, but that suggested sudo as the likely alternative was the user would log in as root
