My biggest problem with unlocking the bootloader is that many apps look for an unlocked bootloader as "Its rooted" according to that app but unlocking the bootloader and being rooted is 2 different things. I only want to run a custom rom I dont want to root. But you end up having to do the whole thing and running Magisk to hide the root and unlocked bootloader.
I always root my phones and I found that installing those app on a cloning environment, like island, usually has them working fine
You usually need to go one step further and install Magisk so you can control what apps "see" about the phone.
