Who would’ve thought? This isn’t going to fly with the EU.

Article 5.3 of the Digital Markets Act (DMA): “The gatekeeper shall not prevent business users from offering the same products or services to end users through third-party online intermediation services or through their own direct online sales channel at prices or conditions that are different from those offered through the online intermediation services of the gatekeeper.

      i have unlocked bootloader of every single smartphone I’ve ever had, ranging from Xiaomi, Samsung, Motorola to Google.

      pixels are the easiest to unlock. there are several mediocre things about pixels(battery life, refresh rate, etc.). but unlocking bootloader isn’t one of them.

          why the hell would you root a device supplied to you by your employer? It’s not yours.

              I steer clear of doing anything personal with work related devices. but even then, Android at least allows for two separate profiles.

      They don’t give you root access out of the box because the vast majority of users don’t want or care about it, whilst being a pretty wide open door for bad actors. As far as I know, pixels are the easiest android phone to flash stuff too. I’ve only heard of Samsung blowing e-fuses upon flashing custom ROMs.
