Pixel stopped providing device trees, kernel history,

Samsung has been doing this for a while now.

Which are the devices/vendors that still allow / encourage this?

Even Graphene OS reported that they're in talks with some vendor... Have there been any updates towards that?

The main reason i used to root devices are:

* Get longer support/OS updates than what the vendor provided

* System level adblock using adaway

* Titanium backup

These days firefox/brave browser gets me half way through adblocking and i lost interest in the ad filled apps..

Syncing gets me good level of syncing for backup on my NAS etc .
