The thing is though that all the things you can't do without root is getting bigger and bigger. For instance these days if you enable battery saver on android it's become standard for it to switch to dark mode. Now that may be nice for amoled but it makes no sense for lcd, in fact lcd uses more power to go dark. And you don't have access to the specific battery saver settings. If you want to disable this particular part of the battery saver profile you need root access to edit a certain xml file. Honestly I think it's ridiculous that the devices we buy and own lock that same owner out of their own device's full access unless you jump trough hoops and void warranty (which is often a lie btw depending on where you live) and what not.
