The point is that today the term only serves to delegitimize what should be accepted practice (installing whatever software you want on the machine you paid for) by making it sound like some secondary/shady behavior. Thus allowing phone manufacturers to maintain their walled gardens and control over consumers.

Tbf these days it is secondary behaviour. Most people aren’t installing stuff outside of app stores on their phones.
It would just feel weird changing the words we use because companies started using the same terms too. We had it first!
