Android is of course Linux, and I've been a Linux admin for many years, so I wanted root (admin) access to my phone. What did I use it for? Not much. I actually DID replace the system ROM with a modified version. The difference? Not much. Having root does let me use my phone as a wifi hotspot without extra fees, and more easily connect it to my VPN.
