The main thing attackers need root for is to hide a backdoor or activity
away and make sure your device stays under their control forever or
maybe to upgrade your device to avoid the exploits providers subject
you to. As demonstarted by Windows most attacks aren't that
sophisticated. Users must be given fine grained revokeable control of
apps. What users care about and what needs securing is almost always
under their default priviledges anyway.
