Same with bootloader unlocking isn't it?

Ah, its not much, just an email away ...

oh, not much it's email and a phone call away ...

Just wait 7 days ... no, it's just a month, and only one device par account? What's wrong with it? You are overreacting

Wait! Why you want to unlock your boot loader, only 0.000001% does it. You are abnormal, not the mass user

Fool me once it's on you Fool me twice ... it's on me.

We are already over twice, but none the wiser.

All Google Pixel phones still have unlockable and resignable bootloader.

You can buy a Pixel instead of a Xiaomi.

Why would I pay Google after this? I have gotten rid of Xiaomi a long time ago.

For now, I am rolling with my OnePlus 7 with LineageOS, till I find a phone that's not completely locked down. Yes, it's old, but it gets my job done. Once I am off all of Google's services, I'll probably get rid of Google in most part of my life.

As, someone who is a user from invite only Gmail, it's difficult, but necessary.

		So like a Motorola, Sony, Fairphone, Shiftphone, Jolla... none of these are 'completely locked down' (though besides Jolla, they're all a little: they don't come as "yours" by default because of the contract with Google to be allowed to ship Play/Maps/etc.)
