The only argument I would make against your points 1 & 2 is that I as a developer can't assume that a person with a rooted device knows what they are doing. For instance... I have a number of friends that have purchased rooted devices for the sake of using things like Kodi, against my advice. They do not understand their devices, or why downloading movies that hit the theater that day is illegal b/c they legally downloaded Kodi or bought a Kodi device legally. I am constantly having to fix/wipe them because they dont even understand the basics of security, ( i.e. they click ok on every popup without reading them, etc). Fortunately they pay me as I have refused for many years now to give free support, even to family. Anyhow, whenever my friends buy phones and other media devices, they almost always without fail and without asking my advice, purchase rooted ones online. Hell, for all they know, those devices could have software on them specifically for keylogging, etc.. and they would never know. So yeah, you can't assume a rooted device is in the possession of a competent user.
