    yes and no… i agree with the sentiment, but with root you can extract wifi credentials and various other secrets… you shouldn’t be able to get these things even when you have physical access to the device… the root access itself isn’t the problem

      If I broke into your home, why TF would I carefully take apart your robot vacuum in order to copy your wifi credentials‽

      Also, WTF other “secrets” are you storing on your robot vacuum‽

      This is not a realistic attack scenario.
