why isnt rooting made so its seamless? i dont wanna install modules to fix apps and stuff
With root access enabled, you technically turn your Android file system back into Linux like. And this allows you to view and modify personal data of any app. So not only you can cheat in games, you are also capable of messing up with licensed software, bank apps and other sensitive content.
And this is actually fun how you cannot use YOUR personal phone on 100% without being limited from software side.

Greed.
I think the main pushers of the ‘root = insecure’ narrative are movie and music studios who think only rooted users can rip their media. Banks have also bought into thinking root means compromised for some reason.
The phone OEMs themselves and the carriers also tend to dislike root because they like to have as much control over the users as they can get, such as system installed spyware which rooted users are likely to disable, or overwrite with a completely different ROM.
I really miss the good old days before SafetyNet.
