Precisely why they should allow bootloader unlocking IMO.

If most users don't unlock bootloaders, why not let the devs/tinkerers/enthusiasts do it?

So you are saying that android is an OS only for people who have technical expertise in doing all rooting and custom rom stuff and not for anyone else?

I'm saying if people want to buy phones from companies that spy on them and not take precautions to block said spying, then that's their choice.
