"Just rooting the phone" is sometimes much easier said than done, even for technically savvy people. I tried to root my LG Thrill (an absolutely horrid phone, so bad LG abandoned it 6 months after release instead of fixing its very serious problems) but I found that my Windows 7 PC would not run the utility required to root the phone. It turns out that it only reliably runs in Windows XP. I'm not about to go buy a license for a 10-year-old OS just to root a phone.
