Hi Johann,
Rooting: "is the process of allowing apps to attain “privileged control” or “root access” within the Android subsystem. So the answer to your question, I think would be yes, it does make a difference.
I've rooted every device I had, prior to my Note 5. I've decided that the risks, out weight the needs of root. Unless you're a person to whom likes to experiment with your phone, as I "was," then go ahead, root away, but I would suggest not to, but that's just my opinion!
