Buy phone

It's a built in safety feature so you don't accidently fuck yourself over. The vast majority of phones are easy to root and if you can't figure out how to then you don't need to be using root. It's sort of like the safety gaurds on a table saw: 99.9% of people have no business taking them off and they usually end up hurting themselves when they do.

You don't own it. You own a piece of hardware that's useless on its own and a license to use its software. Blame copywrong law

Because root privilege can be inherently insecure and they want the majority of their users to have secure devices and let the minority of powerusers fend for themselves.

If I have to do the work for you then you're not capable enough to use root. Learn your shit or stick with normal phone usage. Don't expect all tech solutions to come in one-click service packages, son.

I don't think you own the phone. There's some trick they pull where they still own it.
