Why would you want root? Devices shouldn’t make you want root in the first place. Everything you do should stay within the Android system with poker isolation and permissions
I don’t totally understand why root isn’t just a configurable thing on Android devices. I get why it might not ship with access to root, but why do you have the hack the damned thing to get access?

Because it exposes root and system internals. Biggest reason android devices get compromised/hacked and your fun, quirky android becomes a link in a bot net peddling god knows what including attacks against people and other illegal activities and media
