I am surprised that Google spends so much time tackling custom ROMs via it's Play Integrity API. If only they paid that much attention to say, curating the Play Store more, it had be much better for everyone

Same. Those features are more important than anything I get by rooting.

Honestly I don't even need root for anything. Adblock runs through a fake VPN app. My Pixel used to have a green screen tint, but Google fixed that at the OS level, so I don't need to have an app for that any more.

Care to share the name of the spoofed app?

There's also NetGuard and rethink that spoof VPN connections to filter traffic. I use the latter to block all outgoing apps except for the ones I allow.

Looks like it hasn't been updated in a while, but it still works.

Those of us who actually use VPN don't have that option since only one can be in use. Magisk + AdAway, for me.
