There is a difference between running whatever app you want and the os letting an app do anything it wants to.

Adding new capabilities to the OS does not necessarily break Android's security model. For example extending the window manager.

Apps are user agents. If the user wants something done there needs to be a mechanism to empower the app to do it, otherwise that's a design defect.

Again, if that's what he wants and Android can't do it without root then Android can't do what he wants without root.
