Root and no root

When you get free apk to root device, they get raged at for backdoor and insecure.

When you don't get root access, they get raged at for uninstallable bloatware.

Just to say, most one click root aim at loopholes to root their devices. So this could potentially make those users who wanted rooted device harder to get root. Not saying the researchers reporting this is bad, but they should have posted it privately and not on twitter. Now all those root loving power-users know who to hate. icon->
