How to Unlock Bootloader & Root OnePlus 15T

OnePlus 15T is a mid range smartphone. The phone itself runs fast and smooth, no doubt about that, but rooting gives you the option to go beyond what the manufacturer decided should be allowed. You can adjust things more freely, remove apps you never really use, and run tools that normally require deeper system access.

For many users, the interest in root starts out of curiosity. After unlocking that access, you can play around with tweaks, try different performance settings, or simply make the system behave more the way you prefer. Some like it for better battery control, others just want the freedom to customize without restrictions. It really depends on how you use your device day to day.
