KeePass's userbase is negligible, banking apps didn't care about those that use rooted phones and won't care about KeePass users.

My guess is that the big groups will lobby for this to be turned into a checkbox in some "best practices" list that auditors will enforce into the usual suspects in the name of "safety and security": banks, shopping sites, government sites, etc.

What do rooted phones have to do with anything? I use my credit union's app on my rooted, no google play services phone frequently.

A lot of bank apps refuse to work if they detect your device as rooted/failing safetynet. My bank used to do it but they either stopped caring or more probably magisk now handles it so the apps can't tell.
