Blacklisting is definitely a thing. It also depends on the device and the firmware it runs. There can be a lock on the firmware that can be triggered depending on the carrier (and the firmware of the device). I have heard of a bug in the past where a carrier that had no right was locking iPhones that were unlocked on a byod but that was like in 2013. It was also a bug.
