For these users, their device probably worked fine out of the box (giving them that "Christmas feel" ), probably works fine now, but just want the latest and greatest. Are they entitled to that desire? Yes. But creating thread, after thread, after thread, and many times being very rude to users who try to offer them any condolence or advice, is not the proper way to go about it. For these users, who aren't happy with anything that isn't the latest, rooting is a very viable option. So while you might not like to hear it, sometimes it IS helpful advice.
I think it is also how you say it. Sure, some user may be rude, but another user can take the high ground and explain why to root and what is involved. This would help to de-escalate situations. Although I realize it is easier said than done
