That is a critical observation. Last time I had to root an Android device it hat pretty robust defenses like dm-verity and strict SELinux policies (correctly configured) and then everything collapsed because the system loaded a exfat kernel module from an unverified filesystem.

Permitting user-loaded kernel modules effectively invalidates all other security measures.
