It would be nice if Google made adb backup more robust and offered an OFFLINE DESKTOP backup tool for ALL apps.

That's something I enjoyed on the iPhone using iTunes (well now you can't backup apps anymore because of app thinning). Connecting a device, then waiting on the magic cloud to finish restoring and not knowing which apps and what data will even get restored is just moronic.

It's not a coincidence that the most popular app on the Play Store since ages which uses root is Titanium Backup.

That would be soo unfashionable, like you know, that ancient Palm devices. Oh, and Google could not read all of your data.
