Mac books have offered "rooting in software" for years and years. And it has not been "more dangerous than [consumers] can afford".

Remember the Apple vs. FBI saga from a few years ago? There, a "non-rootable" device protected someone (briefly) from a government. But remember, that a "non-rootable" device is actually a device that only the manufacturer and their authorized agents can root. In other words, the device is secure against the user to prevent the user from doing as he pleases and for the manufacturer. This is exactly what a malevolent governement would need to spy on people.
