    The problem with root is that banking applications and many others straight up actively try to detect it and refuse to work if you are rooted. Android is in the process of being completely locked down.

      Not just root. Some even detect if you have usb debugging enabled and warn or refuse to work unless you turn that off.

        I’ve had video games refuse to play because of that. Ridiculous.

      There are many workarounds. It never really is an issue anymore

        What’s the workaround for apps detecting usb debuging or other user apps on your device? I’m not rooted, but use shizuku and WiFi adb for certain features on my android.

          Was not aware that some apps detect USB debugging and deny access

        Last I rooted there were also workarounds, but they didn’t always work, relying on the workarounds being updated to fight ever more advanced detection methods. It was a cat and mouse chase. And I need to be able to send money reliably, unfortunately.

          Apps I use work fine with vanilla magisk. If there are apps detecting root even after enabling zygisk, use magisk delta and enable magisk hide

        The biggest continuing issue is NFCs, which will require people to accept that non-stock OSes are perfectly fine.
