Is OEM unlocking still active with Samsung's Android 16 update?

​Hi all,

​I've updated my Galaxy A24 to Android 16 (One UI 8.0, Binary 5). The "OEM Unlock" toggle has completely disappeared from Developer Options.

​Device Details:

​Build Number: BP2A.250605.031.A3.A245FXXSBEZB5

​Kernel: 6.12.23-android16-5

​Is this a permanent restriction for this firmware, or is there a way to re-enable it? I am interested in development/kernel analysis and haven't found any active exploits for this version on XDA yet.

​Has the community found any way to bypass this on B5 yet? Thanks for any leads :D
