Custom "rom"s extend the life of the device via both security updates and app compatibility. They’re usually able to be used without propriety Google shit at all, if the person wants.
Just rooting allows more control over what is and isn’t on the device, which goes back to the “my fucking phone” factor as well as the rest.
Yeah, you can partially debloat via adb, but that’s a partial solution to a systematic problem.
And that’s ignoring apps that can do more with root, if you want them to have those abilities.
Edit: hell, just access to hosts file is enough justification.
Because it’s my fucking phone.
