    The trouble with Rooting is trust. You are placing trust in a number of apps and software components to not abuse that access.

    If you limit apps that are granted root access and make sure only safe apps are granted access; then all should be well. But don’t blame anyone if you damage your device.

    This is why Rooting your device should ideally only be done after any manufacturer, OEM and carrier warranty has expired. It has benefits; but so too do the guardrails we program into modern operating systems. Rooting your device can be akin to bowling without the bumpers preventing your ball from falling into the gutter.
