Yes, because they allow you to re-lock the bootloader after flashing a custom ROM. They’re also pretty trivial to unlock the bootloader on in the first place.
Yes I’ve had several pixels and oneplus phones over the years and run various roms on them, it just seemed like graphene would be an odd mention/recommendation in this community.
Is this really the sole reason? I always thought it was just about supporting the hardware as the pixels are being built differently compared to Samsung, Xiaomi …
Wished this was possible on a Shiftphone, re-locking a bootloader doesn’t seem that hard. (Though mainly only possible with stock ROM)
Yes, it is. It’s the reason Graphene says themselves. Graphene is all about reducing potential attack vectors, de-googling just happens to be in line with that goal. An unlocked bootloader is a massive security vulnerability.
