The problem with root is that banking applications and many others straight up actively try to detect it and refuse to work if you are rooted. Android is in the process of being completely locked down.

Not just root. Some even detect if you have usb debugging enabled and warn or refuse to work unless you turn that off.

Switched to web browser...

These apps are fucking obnoxious.

Google wants you to pay for hardware but they get to control it because they can't trust you lol

Yep, never have a root issue if you access a baking service via a browser.

And with apps like Hermit you can make a web page very app-like.
