Don't you get it this is part of a 'modern desktop' along with IPC
everywhere (like windows) despite all of it's flaws especially
in security compared to file based simpler and more direct systems like
sudo and no sudo and polkit don't accomplish different things just one
enables lots by default and the other thinks that is a bad idea.

For me, polkit is certainly justification enough for sudo to reverse
that mantra and I thought that before reading this.

Here's a mail I've given to a few people who have found udisks
problematic. Spacefm is being added to debian as we speak so you may
wish to look at that too or udevil from the same author.

 Quite crude (in a hurry) but works for many desktops and can be 
 easily adapted for cross platform, it will need a little
 work for multiuser or systems with multiple permanent 
 drives and certainly for any project, but you get the idea.

If you look up the spacefm devs blog you'll find some daemons for
various things too.
