Unlocking bootloader/flashing isn't so easy for most people. I root every device I get, but for normal users this process isn't easy. Also some manufacturers aren't so friendly towards people unlocking bootloaders. I remember Sony lowering camera quality when you unlocked/installed Cyanogenmod back in Z2 times, or more recently Asus preventing you from unlocking completely.

Eupean banking apps refuse to launch on unlocked phones. And you need said banking apps as mandatory 2fa to log into your online banking system.

So in EU you gotta choose between banking and rooting.

The apps my bank uses run perfectly well on graphene
