I don’t disagree, however, there needs to be some form of security so the average Joe (or their kid) doesn’t accidentally press the wrong button and rm -rf the entire device (exaggerating of course, but you get the idea).
my apologies, I was actually thinking of “unlocking the bootloader”, rooting a device without an unlocked bootloader didn’t even occur to me. And since unlocking a bootloader is non-trivial by design, that would prevent any such accidents.
