I hear you, but if you're jail breaking your device aren't you opening yourself up to significant risk? You're using somebody else's exploit first of all, but then anything you install will have root on your device.

So I could see it if you were just buying an Apple device and leaving it alone, but if you're rooting I'm not sure I understand.

ah, i think i misunderstood the framing -- i do not jailbreak for that very reason, and i leave it to others to make the case!
