HTC quite strict with rooting. That's why most of its phones come with lock bootloader. Samsung quite lenient in this..with its un-lock bootloader and even gives free S2 to CM Team Hacksung members just to encourage them develop custom rom.
LOL give them phone but no sources in the end team hacksung wanna boycott them.

No more samsung until they release exynos sources.

try to think of it from their perspective and consider this one sample situation:
user buys your product. roots it and gains access. runs a cpu overclocker to attempt to gain cred and bragging rights. blows the CPU from overheating. user then attempts to unroot and restore to stock. returns the lemon product and claim that it is faulty from the manufacturer.
now imagine that same type of user x100 x1,000 x10,000 x100,000 and so on. would you rather wish to continue running the same business practise to allow rooting to your product then? understand that each claim will eat into your profits.
That is actually not a good example as to why they dun wanna accept rooted device cos the amount of people who root is very minimal and the amount of people who overclock for bragging is even minimal so minimal x minimal = insignificant.
Just that rooted they dunno what you did to the phone that might damage it.
