Exactly this; the vast majority of people cannot be trusted with root access. And for those that can, the majority won't need or want it.

While I do believe root access should be possible, it shouldn't be easy. Because I'm confident my dad who wants to pirate F1 instead of pay for whichever overpriced premium streaming platform bought the rights this year would root his ipad and install a dodgy stream player if it was easy.
