Yeah, that's pretty dumb security theatre. If the device is rooted, it can fake your root checks. Just ask Blizzard.

Better to figure out how to operate even when that happens.

Blizzard is continuously playing cat and mouse games to see if you are using bots or cheats for their games. Blizzard comes up with a bunch of anti-cheating checks and within days they all get defeated.

It's a never-ending task.
