    Yeah the problem is that phones are being treated as appliances and they’re locked away from the user. So you’re really hacking around that when you root it. I imagine eventually it’s not even going to be possible to root phones since most people don’t really care if the option disappears.

        My point is that people are actively working around the fact that the device is locked from the user by default. For now you can still root them easily enough, but that can change in the future. It’s also a fundamentally shitty situation to be in. Even after you root, getting OS updates becomes problematic as they can revert your phone back to being locked. You’re not really meant to be in control of the phone.

        I want a phone that’s open by design and I don’t want to jump through hoops to use it the way that suits me.
