Why? Even Windows has some kind of root out of the box.

and that’s a reason not to use banking or other critical apps from a pc. a mobile is much more secure

rooting also bears the issue of being “not intended”. that means that what you use to get root (for example to manage the root permission) is not as much tested as the rest of the operating system and opens up holes which we don’t know about yet

security is a game of money. as a security researcher, bypassing the sandbox and accessing another apps data, can gain you literally millions

bypassing the root permission on an already rooted phone will gain a pat in the back and a conference talk at best
