Why do I have to root?

I thought I was buying a computer with a phone number, what I got is a fancy toy that is broken for real computer work. What? you mean I can't do something as basic as installing apps for hardware requiring administrator privilege? Why don't I get su privilege, I'm paying enough for this gizmo to have it come with it's own caddy and I can't choose what's on it? this is fraud! This tablet is not anything more than a fancy TV!

I was told I could install a usb to ethernet adapter, no I can't! I have to root it first? What? You mean I can't do something as basic as plugging into another device with an rj-45 and program it? This is something you could do since they invented networking. I been ripped-off!

Where can I get an 8 inch tablet that has su powers and/or an ethernet jack plus ability to connect to internet via phone? I don't want to chance bricking what i bought. (wifi does not replace need for rj-45).
