Yeah, I'd guess this is accurate for a vast majority of people who root their Android phones. The only apps I use that are root only these days are just the ones that are necessary to be able to root efficiently - Titanium Backup and a couple of file explorers. The apps I use on a day to day basis don't require root.
Instead, I root because I like playing around with different setting systems, launchers, themes, etc. It's more for fun than a need for any specific functionality that's missing.
The ONE functionality I use that is root-only is wireless tethering, and I use that a lot less than I would have expected. I've probably used it 2-3 times in the past six months.
