If it comes with fully functional command line, unix utils and ability to install linux apps from different stores, that would be great OS.

A root account violates principle of least priviledge. With proper design a root account should not be needed.
"Root" in this case can be normal users without privileges who are granted root-like capabilities granularly, not necessarily a true root account.
Maybe, but the user ought to be able to do with their device the equivalent of what a root account can do, even if not especially conveniently. Like seeing what data apps are saving to their devices or spoofing data to prevent apps from gaining unauthorized information. Apps should not be protected from the user, and user should have recourse from apps doings things not in their interest.
That's already here. Android has native terminal in the developer settings and it even has a Wayland graphical environment. I have run Weston with a desktop chromium inside, playing a youtube video with sound.
