I wasn't rooting, I was unbricking. I needed to get anywhere at all and fastbootd was as good a place as any since it was accessible and provided options to go other places.
(My terminology)
fastbootd is where you go when you ask to "adb reboot fastboot" etc and has a user interface that says "fastbootd" at the top. bootloader is sometimes referred to as fastboot and has no user interface... it is waiting for fastboot to tell it to do something. Like boot images which fastbootd won't do.
