   I have rooted some of my phones and agree it can add fun and functionality.   
   But there are a couple of downsides:   
      
   1) A rooted phone will not allow the installation or execution of several   
   financial apps including Android Pay and mobile banking packages from some   
   banks etc.   
      
   2) System software upgrades will become problematic. A couple of my phones   
   come from OnePlus who do release full TWRP-flashable ROM images for each   
   upgrade but if you root a phone from Samsung or Motorola etc. you'll never   
   see any more factory upgrades and so for any upgrading to newer versions of   
   Android you will need to use custom/community ROMs which may not supports   
   all of the device's hardware features such as say proprietary high speed   
   charging etc.
