Stop parroting orthodox agenda without thinking of what it means. If everyone had root access it would be heaven for ransomware/spyware/malware operators. Having root access is not in the interest OR benefit of most regular users. Rooting your phone is a footgun for 99% of people who install random apps and will get hacked and have their life savings transferred or ransomed. For them the article does the right thing. For everyone else, like you or me, we will not care what this article says anyway. That's why what Samsung does is double bad. Noot rooting phone is good hygiene if your phone respects you. But if it comes with malware then thats a stab in the back. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> Having root access is not in the interest OR benefit of most regular users. What about desktop OSes for the last 40/50 years? Sure they aren’t the foam-padded locked down phone OSes, but isn’t this fear a case of leaving said padded room? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
