I mean, who cares if your boot loader is locked? I have ran unlocked since cyanogen mod days and never had a single issue. I’d rather have a better phone and root tbh
People who take security seriously do.
Just because you never had an issue doesn’t mean there’s no attack surface with an unlocked bootloader and root.
Due to the convenience I had rooted phones for years - without a single issue (that I was aware of).
Backup/restore of apps or phone, migration to a new phone is just so much easier with root unless you want to rely on ‘Google cloud’ for that.
But nowadays I value security more than convenience.
