IMHO Android is not very free without root... I roll my eyes every time I see the need of adb commands when it is just way easier to slap in Magisk and have full control.
I come from iOS and I used to jailbreak the heck out of my devices, rooting is very similar to JB (but better).
Depends what you want to do, really. I've got a proper PC for serious tinkering, my phone has all my private data on so I'd rather have the security that comes with blocking root access.
