    Why would you provide any app with root access tbo?

    What do they need it for?

      Not OP but rooting is still necessary for advanced backups like those made using Swift Backup

      Really depends on what you want to do.

      Same as any Linux system you don’t want applications to have root access all the time. However if I want to remove a system file or modify something that a normal user isn’t able to, something is going to require higher privileges than the standard user account has.
