IMHO units aren't rooted by default, because similarly to as if everyone that didn't know what they are doing had admin access to their PC, they would most def. end up screwing up their PC, as they would end up screwing up their phone and calling foul on their provider/phone manufacturer.. Making it costly o their side for support to get you back on your way and frustrating for most usual consumers..

EDIT: Also consider devs update, remove their own apps and sometimes an app is found to cause problems or actually be incompatible with your particular phone, so it doesn't show on your unit's market place.
