TWRP is the most used recovery by the Android modders. No surprise in that! It has some best features and simple touch interface. They have an active team, adding support for many devices as possible.
Rooting allows tweaking your devices as you want. It also gives you latest Android version through custom ROMs like lineage OS. But what about updating the TWRP recovery? Expect for flashing it at the time of root; we hardly update it. As updating the recovery through ADB command lines is a bit tricky process for beginners.
