As time goes on, rooting is becoming more annoying. Even if your phone supports it (unlocked bootloader and all that), many applications (financial in particular) block rooted devices. There are workarounds, like with Magisk, but it is a cat and mouse game, and you never know how long things will continue to work. The worst part is that more and more often, you need these apps, as banks may restrict the kind of operations you can do if you don't have an app installed, or for two-factor authentication. So if you want to play with a rooted device, chances is that you will need two phones. A daily driver for banking and stuff, and one for playing with. But if you are to go with a second device, you may prefer an other kind of device, maybe a small laptop, or a Steam Deck.
