    I have been rooting my phones since android 7. I like rooting my phone because

    • it allows me to block ads without a VPN or a DNS (AdAway)
    • I can install apps from fdroid like I am installing from google play store, I don’t have to manually install an app.
    • I use NeoBackup to backup apps with app data. *I use revanced (I know I can use the non-root version but why install an extra app (microg) that runs in background).
    • I can disable tracking/telemetry of individual apps by disabling their activity component.

    So, I would say rooting is a big deal for me and banking apps still works.
