Reasoning

They stated its for reducing spam and that jazz.

However, it has the hidden benefit of yet another reason to avoid rooting, which means less access to functional adblocking

yet another reason to avoid rooting

we can all agree that literally nobody would give up their rooted phone if they’re forced to choose between root or RCS

I don’t care how many services they break, I’m not giving up root access.

Same. DriveDroid is the one thing that keeps me on root though. If I need something, I’ll see if I can bypass it.

I would definitely root. But I do want to have access to my banking apps and GPay. Even though I do have a watch that can do all that

You can have root as well as gpay and wallet. I have literally right now in Android 14.
