    This is it.

    I switched to Pixel phones ordered from Google. I can replace the software with whatever and not worry about breaking an eFuse warranty.

      If they are going to restrict sideloading, they’ll probably restrict bootloader unlocking too. In the future, just make sure you research the bootloader unlockablility before buying a phone, because the next pixel might be locked.

          Oh, it’s just a hypothetical since we’re talking about a scenario where Google becomes evil. Google probably isn’t gonna lock the Pixel bootloader any time soon. I mean unless they get an incompetent CEO like spaz.
