This really irks me. On the bright side, they are doing really well with on time updates but hey, allow me to do what I want to do with my phones, at least offer root somewhere deep down in settings so that normal users dont mistakenly enable it.

The standard exuse is that this would be dangerous and result in warranty claims. But other vendors have managed to cope with that. Either they build more robust phones (Google?). Or they register your device id when you request an unlock code. I would accept that, albeit grudgingly.
