Some apps have a need to refresh the page as part of their operation. Without root, they could not do that.
Some apps run in full screen. Without allowing adjusting the frontlight from within the app, it's very cumbersome to do that in such a mode.
There are all sorts of other behaviors that you can't modify without root. For example, Note Air automatically wakes up when you disconnect it from power. This is not something I like and (as far as I know), such a thing can only be changed with a root.
You may not need root for your use patterns and requirements, but I (and others) do.
