This!

I also use it for SwiftBackup and some custom crons for scripts I run on the phone. It's also very useful with pcapdroid when I want to analyze the traffic that apps are attempting to generate.

I use root for being able to customize my phone greatly and with extra security benefits (like akunohana shared) while also bring able to degoogle. But if degoogling is the only thing you care about then there are other options, especially if you're not fully adept to understanding the file system and/or Linux already.
