Depends on where you live.

If you assume that the US government is not trustworthy, and a possible enemy of you (possible if you're a journalist in these days), then an unrooted phone might be less trustworthy than a rooted one with custom software (such as a custom build of CooperheadOS)

Or just use an iPhone. The amount of marketshare Apple would lose if there was even a hint of a US-intelligence backdoor in their systems keeps them with a very, very vested interest to actively fight that.
