Yeah they might come locked, but the owner needs to be able to remove that lock if they want to.
I can't remember owning an Android device it wasn't possible on. What do you mean just pixel and galaxy allow it?
Bootloader unlocking used to be much more widespread, but manufacturers are removing that option to prevent users from having control over their devices.
I think computers are gonna be next on the chopping block.
It is moving that way for sure. But PC gamer is kicking still... Despite these gpu prices
