And it's also why they don't release with unlocked bootloaders... It's why there needs to be more regulation around the right to repair not only hardware but also software...
Agrees completely. I don't buy a device unless I own all of it. If I can't remove their software and install my own, I don't own it, and I won't buy it. While I'm not wild about the fact that Pixels are google phones, the bootloader is unlocked.
