>Should you have the ability to run what you want on your phone
Sure, but that doesn't require root to do. The OS can expose capabilities that apps want instead of requiring security to be entirely bypassed with root.
>and copy the data from the app that you installed, after accepting the risks?
No, because that violates Android's security model. If an app wants to have a authentication token live on a single device then being able to copy it violates that and can result in multiple different devices sharing the same token.
>Google/Main vendors is making it less and less possible
It's app developers doing this.

- charcircuit 1y agoThere is a difference between running whatever app you want and the os letting an app do anything it wants to. Adding new capabilities to the OS does not necessarily break Android's security model. For example extending the window manager.
- msgodel 1y agoApps are user agents. If the user wants something done there needs to be a mechanism to empower the app to do it, otherwise that's a design defect. Again, if that's what he wants and Android can't do it without root then Android can't do what he wants without root.
