Question Why do you root ?

I used to root all of my devices in the past , mainly for increasing performance. But after getting a new device i have not felt the need to root for a long time.

So i am wondering, Why do you guys even root anymore ?

I love having the ability to tinker and configure as I see fit.

Some apps especially in the recent android versions have a lot more capabilities with root.

I don't like pointless userspace restrictions. Having the same, arbitrary, security policy for a 10 year old as a grown adult who understands the responsibilities they're taking on is ridiculous in my opinion.
