zsh Illegal hardware instruction with sudo

Question

Hi.

I have a fresh Catalina with version 10.15.7 When I run

/Application/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari

From my user account terminal, no issue.

However, if I do

sudo /Application/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari

zsh: illegal hardware instruction /Application/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari error

What is wrong?

I don't see this issue with my BigSur though.

Typo with what is posted: it's ApplicationS, not Application.

And I'd tend to expect to use open there, and not sudo

The open works without errors on Monterey, while sudo shows a pile of chatter and then Safari. No Catalina to test with.
