Speak for yourself.
I was speaking for myself, I have no idea why people do it. Didn't say there aren't legitimate reasons, I just don't know any of them
Privacy? I am astonished that you're seriously asking this.
Is this the point about unlocking the bootloader being risky, or did you just pour the Google/Samsung advertisement ethos down your throat?
I guess that's a fair reason. I hadn't really considered that because I don't personally care too much
I'm interested; are you saying you don't care about privacy from your android device?
I don't care to enhance it any further from the default experience, especially with the downsides
Downsides?
Can be quite a bit buggier than stock, can be difficult or impossible to use some apps. You can lose some stock features sometimes. You can spend a lot of time debugging issues.
