You don't need policykit in linux. It is just few distributions who pull that thing into system for bells and whistles in some desktop environments. And you definitely don't need policykit on servers at all.
It's just another example of pushing different completely unnecessary bloatware onto users in exchange of some fictional "comfort". "Wow, look, with polkit you don't need to type something in that scary CoNsOLe to do something as root!"
Never installed that crap ever, never had any problems. :)

Reliance upon crowd sourced vulnerability detection seems like a failed strategy in an age where big tech refuses to contribute back to source
