As users we sometimes face the issue of rooting our devices. We may want to regain control of our device or we may want to keep using a device with an outd...
These are not really genuine concerns imo, and to the extent that they are - they should be recognised as shortcomings of an increasingly inflexible ecosystem.
It’s very easy to avoid root detection these days, and if you are rooting your phone, chances are you have also disabled the playstore app altogether so play protect is no longer a concern. I just use F-Droid and Aurora these days to reduce what can be associated with me or any of my accounts.
Who the hell is watching shows on their phone so much that a reduction to SD is going to bother them on a 6 inch screen?
If I can get my hands on your phone physically, there’s very little you can do to keep me out regardless of if the bootloader is unlocked or not.

Pixel phones are arguably the worst for rooting. (I own one) In order to get the phone to pass properly you pretty much have to go custom on the ROM.
I’m running a stock firmware, and I get all sorts of problems as a result of rooting the device, and not installing a CFW.
I have 2 apps, that won’t work (google pay and a credit score check/lock appand Microsoft intune - which my work partially uses)
