If more people were aware of the advantages of rooting/jailbreaking, I’m sure more people would be doing it.

If more people knew about the advantages of putting a custom ECU mapping in their car, mo--, no, just about the same number of people as now would be doing it. It's a gearhead thing, not a regular driver thing.

I disagree. I’m a perfect example. I had no idea what jailbreaking/rooting were and saw no point/purpose in doing so at first until I had it explained to me.

Flashing your car’s computer is much different that clicking a few buttons on your phone/PC.

Another point...you can go into the classifieds and find people who will do the root/jailbreaking for you for a fee.
The market for it is out there and as I’ve been saying all along, it’s a matter of either stupidity, laziness, or both.
The rooting/jailbreaking process is down to the point where it’s nothing more than downloading a program, plugging in your phone, and clicking a button. People are going to PAY someone to do that? REALLY? They’re that dumb or that lazy? You have perform more steps then that to setup what you want synced in iTunes.
