Everyone's security and convenience/feature needs are different of course. There is often a tradeoff. The way I see it, I wouldn't give up having admin access on my PC for security, so why would I give it up on my phone?

Absolutely, that's what I'm saying, that I personally have not needed root and the trade offs are no longer worth it for my case.
