I wouldn't even feel compelled to root my phones if Google would actually back up my phone instead of whatever 1/4 baked shit they've done thus far.
I've been using android since 2010, and it's gotten significantly better over the years. There's only a few things it doesn't back up, like text messages and app data, most of which you don't need.
Mine backs up my text messages, but I would prefer to backup my app data, authenticators, wallpaper, themes, games, etc., not every app is a shitty front-end to a website.
It is not Android that is backing up most things though, it is mostly done by Google Services. That means that your data is effectively vendor locked-in if you want to use Android as an actual open source project. Google gutting the AOSP to this extent should be illegal (maybe even is, but might is right).
