Doesn't rooting disable a bunch of apps?
Yes, and now with this Play Integrity thing is activated, it will comprise probably all of the apps from Google Play in time. Not for rooting but for ROMs, this is probably bypassable with more targeted ROMs, like GrapheneOS but I reckon that will cause a decrease in the ROM count.
rooting breaks saftey net checks. some services claw back a handful of apps that checks for it but not all.
most usually involve banking, one funny one notorious for breakinf under root is mcdonalds app. nintendo games usually break under it, but can often easily be bypassed.
