It's like jailbreaking an iPhone, except it's for Androids.
I've never had an Android myself, but my friends who have Androids say they don't want to root their phones because it affects the phone's performance.
ONLY ROOT when there is no more warranty.
All wrong. Don't post if you don't know what you are talking about. There is no reason to wait until your phone's warranty is out. Your phone's warranty is voided by the access of rooting, yes, but it is also RESTORED by simply removing root access and going back to your original stock rom. A very easy process.
Yes and no.
One of the main reasons people root is to IMPROVE their phone's performance whether it be overclocking for a faster phone, underclocking for a much longer battery life and less heat, nice looking GUI, etc.
but some ROMs that are in their testing phases may not work well and actually undermine performance. It is very easy to avoid this however, just don't use untested or known issue ROMs.
For me not really needed, depends on what do you want to do.
Judging from your argument, I believe you are the one wrong since it isnt simply restored by going to original rom jackass, many companies including Samsung, have means to verify if the phone was rooted, even if they have the original rom installed.
I rooted 4 diferent devices and I can say that its better to have warranty and then when it ends, root it, because if the device gets damaged you dont have anymore warranty.
In the end, when you root, if you follow the exact procedure you'll have no problems rooting it but I prefer play safe.
Dont just jump on the bandwagon and say root now, do it, etc.. because both sides have ups and downs and its up to OP to decide.

Also may I add that it is practically impossible to brick your phone if you use safestrap.
If you need to ask what is it, you do not need it.
I always root and flash anything electrical I can.
I like tinkering.
So here's the rundown, if you don't know what it is, what it does. Then you don't need it.
Lets just drop that for a second and you still want it for some unknown reason but have no idea for what;
Don't do it before you know how to recover from a fuckup rending your device to become bricked or soft-bricked.
TLDR; Don't root without knowing how to use it or to recover your data.
It's like jailbreaking but complicated as FK. I unrooted mine.
You can restore the counter. https://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1634129 + other methods
