For apple basically every smartphone maker except a small subset with the marketshare that is basically a rounding error that focus on openness, the iPhone smartphone is like DRM for their software and you buy the license to use iOS and not hardware. 😅
Just because Android is more customizable and has worse security practices that allow jailbreak/root easier doesn’t mean that it’s an intended feature or that most don’t actively fight against it. The default for virtually all phones sold is lock you into their App Store and extract revenue from using their services. As much as I love the convenience of smartphones, it’s frankly a mistake the entire consumer market made in allowing the default be that you can’t fully control your device 100%, whether that’s running root or just repairing them easily.
Good point, I agree. Put for what I understand unlocking the bootloader on pixel phones is an intended feature on the phone. Hidden feature, but intended to be useable by any who thinks they are a Dev.

I think you’re right. I didn’t get too specific but that was the part I intended in the “small subset” comment I made, along with others like FairPhone, who I assume offer this.

Please correct me if I’m wrong.
