Only if I grant them root, which I'd only do to a very small number of open source apps
I instead have to use my desktop web browser, and desktop operating systems have a far worse security model than Android. No special permissions are generally needed to capture the screen, capture/inject keystrokes, or open .mozilla/whatever/cookies.sqlite
So my phone is still the significantly more secure environment. The fact that I have the ability to grant root does not make it "compromised"

But that's exactly the point. The bank doesn't know what you've granted root. It doesn't know if you're a security researcher, or somebody installing pirated apps with spyware.
The bank can't enforce that on desktop web browsers, but at least it can on mobile.
Nope, they cannot enforce that on mobile when I have root.
Then why did the root commenter say:
