Respectfully, that view completely trivialises a clinical profession.
Calling evidence based therapy a "checklist of advice" is like calling software engineering a "checklist for typing". A therapist's job isn't to give advice. Their skill is using clinical training to diagnose the deep cognitive and behavioural issues, then applying a structured framework to help a person work on those issues themselves.
The human connection is the most important clinical tool. The trust it builds is the foundation needed to even start that difficult work.
All the data we have shows that psychotherapy outcomes follow a predictable dose-response curve. The benefits of long-term psychotherapy are statistically indistinguishable from a short course of treatment, because the marginal utility of each additional session of treatment rapidly approaches zero. Lots of people believe that the purpose of psychotherapy is to uncover deep issues and that this process takes years, but the evidence overwhelmingly contradicts this - nearly all of the benefits of psychotherapy occur early in treatment.
The study you're using to argue for diminishing returns explicitly concludes there is "scarce and inconclusive evidence" for that model when it comes to people with chronic or severe disorders.
Who do you think a "lifelong recipient" of therapy is, if not someone managing exactly those kinds of issues?
The problem is not that rooting is difficult, it's that in most cases now it permanently renders parts of the phone inoperable or makes it impossible to use contactless payments or any banking apps or content streaming apps etc.
These additional restrictions are not there for security despite what we are told.

I've had to cloak the rooted state from an app or two or they'd choose to withhold functionality. That was a couple of phones ago. I've not had trouble with banking, payments, etc since.
They're for the bank's (and other customers') security, not yours.
I think they're supposed to prevent people from reverse-engineering banking app APIs and writing bots that perform millions of requests per second, trying to brute force their way into peoples' accounts.
As an extra protection, SafetyNet also makes it harder to distribute apps that repackage your genuine banking app, but with an extra trojan added.
Every bank of repute also has a web portal for internet banking. If it were about security, leaving this open while closing the mobile route doesn't make sense. The web is also vulnerable to scammers hosting trojan websites but somehow that doesn't seem to be a big problem.
If a bank (or any entity for that matter) needs to control the client in order to make their systems secure, then it's bad security. The system must be secure despite the client.
This depends on the bank and the country, but web portals usually have some kind of 2FA on them. This means hacking into somebody's web portal account isn't enough, you still need to hack that mobile device first.
There are many definitions of "sell" that aren't a dichotomy between building toy projects that never leave your private repo, and running a SaaS startup you're trying to grow via LinkedIn and HN.
I've found a lot of fulfillment in building tech products/services for friends and family, and making meeting their needs the complete scope of the project, with no intention to release it publicly. I present it as though it's a widely released product, including marketing materials, retail box, printed instruction manual, etc. I enjoy it thoroughly as a creative exercise, and it gives me the opportunity to integrate and combine lots of skills I'm not able to use at work.
I don't make any money doing this, but it scratches the itch I have to build things people will use, and I do enjoy showcasing and promoting my latest projects - and an audience of my (less technical) friends and family is a polite and encouraging one. Definitely less stressful than releasing things to the wider internet. This has brought improvements to my real job, where I'm finding myself more comfortable presenting and promoting my achievements.
Home cooked meals software is a nice phrasing for this kinda thing. I admire your packaging and documentation touches, going that far is cool and creative
If food supplies haven't been restored for a year, it means there's probably been some extreme collapse of society and loss of life. Never seeing your friends/family/loved ones again, just surviving day by day for no purpose. I'd rather die quickly in the early stages than survive in such a bleak world.
There's a popular website used on the Xbox One that emulates older Nintendo consoles from within the included Edge browser with controller support, and it can use OneDrive to store your ROMs and saves.
Something similar to that on the Switch could eat into Virtual Console revenues.
