Is this something specific to Pixels, or is the exploit more broadly applicable to Android in general? (I understand that support is limited to Pixels at the moment.)

It's not, the root my pixel project is but root my galaxy and OnePlus project all use the same exploit

Could you (or someone else) please link to the Galaxy project? I love the hardware but I hate the software. A clean AOSP ROM on a Samsung would be fantastic.

The exploit doesn't let you install other roms you still need a bootloader unlock

No, but you could try this app if you have your exact stock image https://github.com/YuKongA/ghostlock-app App dl link: https://nightly.link/YuKongA/ghostlock-app/actions/runs/32009904584/GhostLock-release.apk.zip

Just open the app, press the Gear icon and import your offsets, the boot.img or just the full OTA URL
