This only applies if you're deliberately installing a malware rootkit. A proper solution would have been hooked against a permission manager, like Magisk -- or even better, Sui (a privilege escalation API which only exposes root to apps that specifically asks for it through the permission framework).

No, I rolled my own using arch linux as a base (although in theory pretty much any distro could be adapted). The code is here.
I don't know if I agree with your assessment. I'll give an example, I've packaged a game for a developer as a flatpak. The manifest currently uses the freedesktop runtime only because a runtime is required as of now. However, the only thing we're actually using is some opengl stuff and glibc, everything else is provided by the game. We could potentially roll our own runtime, we could wait for the potential of a null runtime (suggested by one of the guys behind the whole thing), or we could just roll with the freedesktop one, even if we actually only use a very small subset of it. In this case we're still very much not locked into a specific runtime, depending on where we want to release it. We haven't had to adapt the code in any way for it. You can run the very packaged software outside of flatpak and it'll still work just fine, regardless if you meet the "freedesktop platform" or whatever outside of flatpak.
A fork of XPrivacy called XPrivacyLua works, though it needs LSPosed (a less invasive port of Xposed to Magisk) on Android versions newer than 7. Here's the link: https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua Also, my last phone (which I upgraded from six months ago to a three-year-old phone) is currently 7 years old and runs Android 8 on the stock ROM. Assuming your phone has received no updates since it was released, it would have been running a three-year-old version of Android at release to still be compatible with XPrivacy. Are you sure you're not using XPrivacyLua? Even then, it's a bit unusual to never get an update, but it's much more reasonable.
