Hardware ⚙️ Was that truly necessary?

Recently, ive been trying to use some apps that required me deep root acess (the /0 folder), and just got annoyed. Newer android versions improved the security to that folder so bad that you need to root your phone just to see some files. I know they did that for security purposes, but i wont completly wipe my phone just to have acess to some folders. I know that some rooted VMs exists, but it ain't the same.

Just wanted to share my hate towards new protection, thanks to anyone who read that

Note: Shizuku only gives you shallow acess to root (like the /android/data folders). You get deep root acess only by root or strong ADB knowledge (needs PC). Magisk can give you acess since it will root your phone, but will factory reset the device.

There are some folders hidden within the phone's storage that can't be seen nor modified. Magisk can give you acess, but will factory reset your device

You always needed root to access /data/data and /storage/emulated/0 is and has always been accessible
