That's not entirely true. If you have a really old firestick on a really old firmware in a drawer somewhere, there was a way to flash a custom Android build on them way back. That's long been patched out, though.

I rooted my fire stick with a piece of aluminum, you had to open it and bridge two points on its board to make a reserved memory area writable, and then run a script to root it. Have no idea about new models/firmware but XDA developers is a click away. It was the 4k model at the end of 2019, I think it's just one or two generation behind the current 4k stick

True

My first fire tv i rooted and flashed a custom ROM on it

these idiots though believe jAilBrEAK is fucking installing Kodi and asking unofficial repos in the app
