It's kinda understandable because banks are reliable for our money. If someone steals from our debit cards, bank should compensate it. But they don't want to compensate lose from theirs pockets. So if someone steals money and AP will be related to this crime, banks will ask Google to provide information regardless the case. If they find out that related phone was rooted, they'll ask Google to compensate lose. What Google will do? Well, they can make root tougher or start investigation against Chainfire, just because his soft could be potentially related to crime.



Personally, I rather ask Amex to replace my card with touchless one, than give up root.
