I didn't need to "root" my Nexus. NO ONE argued that Android was carrier proof. Android is in fact delightful. It does nothing to change the fact that the carriers are scum. Nor is rooting illegal. Unlike Apple, no one is trying to make rooting illegal. Apple is actively trying to block and deter people from jailbreaking, and trying to sue/criminalize people if they succeed despite Apple's best efforts.
The only reason AT&T didn't "mess up" the iPhone over Apple objections is that Apple COLLUDED with AT&T to reduce it.
In summary, it's not a double standard when comparing Android to iOS, and because everyone agrees that all of the carriers suck more or less equally.
