If you ask Daniel Micay he will probably give you a very good explanation of why root access is a bad idea. I am not sure though and can imagine its sometimes helpful and might be safe if you totally trust the root app like Magisk.
But not every module some random person on the internet writes is safe or makes even sense. For example changing IMEI, IMSI etc. is not possible for the apps that actually use it, i.e. cell connectivity.
Holeeeshit! All that from an accelerometer?
Yes. GrapheneOS has a sensor permission because of that. Among many many other critical fixes for the tracking platform Android.
For years I’ve rooted, in part to block permissions access to such things.
And on reddit and here the number of people who’ve said I don’t need root or that I’m paranoid 🤦♂️
