I can happily install non-market apps. Google only took it off its software distribution… doesn’t mean it stopped being relevant.

Map functionality alone and GPS is worth it.

What remains is the privacy issue which is another can of worms entirely.

True enough. If you want to scuttle the various Google/manufacturer add-ons you need root.
Personally I’d just get myself the FOTM custom ROM instead of mucking about piecemeal with Sense so I’d still say the only real reason for establishing root is for flashing.

Well, subjectively speaking I can go for another reason – root access in order to truly “own” the hardware. I’d go for that but then again I’m a paranoid control freak so I’m not including this under “common reasons”.
