The point to this is to provide consistent performance. I have had a number of inexpensive boxes that I could root and use different ROM's. Although fun, I never found a box with the proper performance to use stock Kodi apk. This box runs Kodi 17 nicely with no user tweaks.
If you want LibreElec as your OS, then there are cheaper boxes that run this well.
How is it difficult to root, Nvidia even provides rooted OS images and instructions on how to install.

You can't disable the Leanback Launcher because of Google (it actually came in a LL update) not Nvidia.
