SafetyNet is fairly easy to defeat.
If you root your device correctly. Can't expect most mobile users to do that. Can't expect users with locked bootloaders to do that. Can't even expect many power users to do that. A lot of very tech literate people I know that customise their computer OS heavily still don't want to root their phone.
