A device you have no root access to is not a device you "own".
I think the current legal framework of language regarding consumer technology should reflect this.

The statement is more about protecting average consumers (your grandma) from spyware/bloatware, because of their lack of understanding of technology.
We wouldn't have to tolerate such intrusive software if we legally couldn't refer to them as anything but spyware. Normal people would be able to make an *informed* choice.
But yes, of course, root your things :)
@torresjrjr ignore the warranty - root your device lol (every new phone)
