You make it sound like rooting is a simple opt-in. It is not. It is not possible on every phone, requires technical expertise, risks bricking your device, you will likely loose firmware update support, various apps (like banking apps) will stop working. It is a tough choice.
You’re right. At the very least, users shouldn’t be forced to make this choice. It’s absurd how little authority we have over devices we have paid for with our hard earned money. :(
Which just seems stupid. Smartphone is a computer. When you want to run something as administrator on Windows, it’s just a Yes/No prompt away, and Windows isn’t some small thing either.

It is possible on every Google phone.
