Why do so many phone manufacturers hate letting you unlock their bootloaders? Every Google phone lets you do this, and they probably have the most secure Androids of them all.
Google shouldn't be our shining light on phone rules lol
pixels are by far the best to degoogled your phone and to have privacy/security/freedom actually
they go above and beyond letting you unlock your bootloader
Oneplus? Bootloader is easily unlocked and it can be debloated easily after root
This 100%
Rooting is a terrible security risk and there's no point in doing it. You won't see the popular roms like GrapheneOS, /e/, or CalyxOS supporting it.
Lol this is the technology page and you're going to try to make the argument to not root(/jailbreak) a phone?.. Genuinely lold
Probably because they know their OS is a duct-taped piece of garbage which could fall to pieces if you look at it wrong while unlocked.
