A lot of the reasons why I used to root simply don't exist anymore. Personally, I haven't unlocked the bootloader or installed a custom ROM since maybe Nexus 4. Plus now, as others have said rooting your device makes most financial related apps stop working.
That's what did it for me. I need to be able to use bank apps, and appreciate the convenience of Google Pay on my Pixel 7 Pro. Can't do that with a custom rom or root. I loved rom hopping on my older droids, but I guess stock android has all the functionality I need.
Can anyone confirm if that's still the case with kernelsu, losing banking apps hurts the most. For ads a dnsguard still kinda works
Works fine for me ..you should try asking in your device development group most of them are active on telegram
