I was seriously considering getting an over priced pixel phone just so I could get graphene os, but then I discovered, that rooting it is impossible. Pity
Rooting is not possible because of the security risks posed by doing so. You could technically build your own GOS with root enabled, but that’s not recommended
Can you elaborate on how it’s security through obscurity? I’m just saying what the devs have said. It does make sense though that if you provide root access that it could be easier for malicious devices to gain root access and therefore take more harmful actions

This attitude is, to me, very security through obscurity. I did consider your idea, but on the whole can’t be bothered 🤷

Utter hogwash. If I don’t have a device, a hacker can’t gain access to it. That’s security through obscurity. Make things stronger, not evasive
