I agree with the idea of properly owning your device, but its pretty rare I need root access and it’s not all that hard for me to enable it if I truly needed it. Turns out graphene has an option built in to limit charging to 80% and I use slow chargers already so I actually don’t need it here either.
There are pretty solid security reasons to keep it locked down. It’s an attack vector that allows easily superceding the otherwise highest permissions on your device.
I insist on having root on principle; if I don’t, the device isn’t really mine.
In a practical sense though, ACCA is probably my biggest use case for it. I could work around most everything else.

It makes my phone just as secure or insecure as my PC. I’m good with that.
If I was at higher risk of being directly targeted for attacks, I’d probably rethink that.
