It makes sense, to some degree, that for example some banking apps refuse to run if they detect that the phone has been rooted, or even to go as far as to refuse to run if there are non-Play apps on the phone.

Maybe some apps with DRM media playback do this kind of check too, yes. Haven’t used Android for many years now.

Hopefully iOS stays the way it is where apps don’t get so much info about other apps on device. I prefer it that way.
