Shouldn't all androids have policy to have bootloader unlocked once support/updates end ?
I had a 6 year old phone working fine but stuck on Android 9 due to bootloader locked and custom roms ?
Now that the flagship phone prices reaches till laptop (~2000 $ ) and macbook neo like budget laptops also priced in phone range 400$. It makes sense that once the brand leaves the support policy user get full ownership .
In laptop , a user running 2014 hardware will still be able to load Windows 11 or new Linux versions
