GitHub - melontini/bootloader-unlock-wall-of-shame: Keeping track of companies that "care about your data 🥺"

I went through the list. Google and FairPhone should definitely be moved to "Safe for now" whilst OnePlus should be moved to "Requires an online account/sacrifice" as they limited their unbrick utility which means no more custom ROMs for new OnePlus phones.

I honestly don't understand why Chinese companies do this. They would fare much better against their American counterparts (including Samsung) if they allowed for more open hardware. Goes to show that MBAs at the top of these companies have utter dung between their ears
