BTW guys, would you root your device in case of using android? is it still useful to do in modern android versions to get firewall working etc? (latest android I've used was 5).

However, I don't know if I would use it or not...
...the system itself is missing, but most modern applications are made for Android...
So in reality, Sailfish seems to be a better option but that is also only if it will arrive with Android support...
...otherwise I would loose the support of several service which should be available on my phone and multiboot is not a really convenient option...

services that lock off their api to the 'official' app only and cant be arsed to make one of those outside of android and ios that means every one else can go suck it.
if they dont care about you why should you care about them?

Anyway, it is an interesting question... for example, official bank applications are those what you may need primarily (especially in the PSD2 era), including Fintechs. However, these programs are the most problematic ones if we are speaking about even the rooted Android systems... (that may worth another long thread anyway)
...and these service may the less chance to be adapted to other systems and the more you will need them in time... sad.
Without speaking about them, I would not really name any applications I would miss...
So, theoretically, you are right, but practically not really...
On the other hand, I don't really like Android systems, the way it handle 'multitasking' and so on...
...Maemo basically was highly a much better operating system.

I would probably root it. For example some aspects of car usage require rooting.
@SaiKo nowadays it is not simply just that easy as ignoring them.
Banking apps are good example, not only normal banks but other money transfer applications as well. There is plethora of other apps that you just "need" for your everyday life.
Also Whatsapp is classic example. Where as I and my friends might be able to easily change to telegram or whatever, the situation is completly different for my daughters football team that uses Whatsapp for communication. We all realize that I can't go asking little children to start using apps that their parents don't know. Especially this year we have had some really bad examples of that here in Finland

there's hidden root option for paranoid bank apps.
Thanks, have to look to this more closely.

No, you don't need to have root for things like that (anymore). Just install AdGuard and you're safe from ads, even ads that are inside apps.
For YouTube without ads and background playback (and dark mode) just install YouTube Vanced
