> compromise

This is not an inherent compromise. iPhones could be just as safe and issue-free if they were rootable, just as cars don't need hoods welded shut to prevent their owners from messing with the engine. If you find the compromise acceptable, simply don't root your phone.

A car analogy that works! Good job, this is a rare sight indeed :)

To extend this analogy further, people share, load and modify ECU firmware dumps for their cars, too.
