To be fair, the process is scary.
Depending on your phone, rooting often involves exploiting security flaws because the manufacturers don't want you to have root (reason #1 that makes me want it all the more).
I have an old Pixel 2, which allows you to unlock the bootloader, so I didn't have to break into my own device, which is nice.
I don't know anything about KingoRoot. I use Magisk (https://magisk.me/ https://magisk.me/) which is FLOSS.
When you have root on your phone, an app has to ask for root access. You may deny, grant temporarily (15 minute default IIRC), or grant forever. Very few app should require root. But it's important to me to be able to run whatever I want on my own computer.
