OMO IBO: Pardon my ignorance but What does rooting achieve??

I'm yet to understand why people change gadget interface which in jail cases damages the gadget or make its redundant.

Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation
- (You do not need to do this if
you have S-off already or done
this before) - WORKING NOW for
TMOUS users
Visit http://revolutionary.io/
download the application for
your operating System. AND
EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR
ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is
flagging up Revolutionary as a
Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the
download links with your OS,
Device, Hboot Version and Serial
number. This will give your beta
key to enable you to S - OFF. Make
a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version
- 3 methods below
1. Run the revolutionary Utility
you just downloaded from
http://revolutionary.io/ and if it
has found your device it should
read
"Found your Device: HTC
Sensation Z710* Applications ->
Development)
4. With the phone switched on
(not in HBOOT, just the regular
home screen), plug in your USB
cable and select HTC sync mode.
(IGNORE any warning messages
on your phone telling you it
cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It
should detect the phone and ask
for your beta key. Type it (BE
CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or
copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your
phone verify you have all the
drivers installed, try disk drive
mode or charging mode (Linux
users can use disk drive mode.
Confirmed to be working by
others)
6. Once you have entered your
beta key correctly, follow any on
screen prompts or actions from
revolutionary and wait for it to S-
Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will
Successfully have S-OFF
