> Google phones having unlocked bootloaders is besides the point. Google phones aren't being discussed here, Samsung are.

It's not beside the point when your initial claim was that Google was the reason for locked Samsung bootloaders. But if that were the case, why would their own phones be unlocked?

Because google is paying to force their apps. Obviously google has no reason to lock their own phones.

Samsung gets to have it both ways. They get paid by google to force their apps, and then Samsung can force whatever shovelware they want under the huise of 'security'

Google is forcing a lot of things, but boot loaders to be locked isn't one of them
