    Yooooo that’s actually awesome. If they hit Apple next that’d get even better.

    The play store has some weird security items attached to it that blocks your bank or even some games if your phone is rooted. I’d love if Google was forced to drop stuff like that to retain users.

      That’s your bank and those games, not Google.

      The games are obviously afraid of cheating/hacking. For the bank it’s about your account’s security. Root access gives a lot of power to potentially malicious actors, it’s definitely not weird for them to not work if your phone is rooted.
