here's the page for one of the projects that I use, for example. It's linked to github.
The cinemas in my area, especially movies with a tiny tiny piece of sci-fi like Star Wars or Marvel ones, end up being shown in 3D only. So if you don't like 3D then you could be forced to drive for nearly an hour to get to one which has it in 2D, or wait for it to come to DVD or your favourite streaming service.
I don't like 3D stuff myself, but I do enjoy a nice trip to the cinema with the wife. I've had to put up with the 3D thing several times over the last little while because otherwise I wouldn't have the opportunity to go.
I need root access without having to risk bricking the device
The problem with this is that some apps (e.g. banking ones) refuse to install on rooted devices. Some media streaming ones as well AFAIK. So I don't see rooting as a sharp driving factor.

I've still got The Black Swan by Taleb on my shelf waiting for me. Each so far has profoundly changed the way I think, in distinct but related ways.
Surely not using the app but accessing Facebook through a browser and VPN will give you at least some level of concealment of your movements? I'm not a Facebook user but I do most of my browsing (desktop and mobile) using ProtonVPN always through the same server, so to anyone who wants to track me that way it looks as though I'm always in the same city.
Did they do this in the past when they were on the ropes? No? Then, what?
Just to play devil's advocate a bit here, the last time Apple were on the ropes, mass data collection wasn't really a thing. The internet was only just beginning to get into peoples' homes.
To thine own self be true. (If not that, at least make some money.)
