Absolutely anyone can follow a guide to root a phone, I am an idiot and I have done it. The manufacturer should not be liable for me using the phone in a manner not intended and then breaking it, but they should absolutely have to make it available to do. It should only require signing away liability in a tick box.
Exactly, and this also ties into my first point that the people who know, know what to look for.
I’ve rooted/jailbroken every single phone and tablet I’ve owned over the last 15 years. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I cannot stand the artificial “security” blocks out in place simply because a company thinks rooted users are somehow cheating or committing fraud or what have you - the people who do that are gonna do it no matter what.
