Right, except that means rooting every one of your devices, which is a) annoyingly time-consuming and b) not available for many less-popular devices since nobody cares and c) way beyond the skills of the average user.

Do you go through more than one phone per year?

For my phone, at least, I can get a program that does all the rooting for me with a click.
