making it nearly impossible for regular users to uninstall it without root access, which voids warranties and poses security risks

Stop parroting the corporate propaganda that put us into this stupid situation in the first place. Having root access on devices you own should be a fundamental right, as otherwise it's not ownership.

The current legal reality might be corporate propaganda, but not exclusively corporate propaganda, it's the current legal reality as well. "root access voids warranties" is a fact in many jurisdictions, regardless of how it came to be. Hence, it's not as much parroting propaganda, as in furthering a cause, but just stating it how it is.
