> Most Android devices these days have bootloaders that cannot be unlocked, preventing device owners from installing custom kernel images onto their devices. And even if you have a phone where that isn't true, Google's SafetyNet will prevent you from using many crucial applications, like your bank's Android app, on that handset.
Googles own devices not only allow you to unlock the bootloader, but to relock it with your own signing keys. So your statement is just wierd - if you care, vote with your wallet and don't complain how "most devices" don't give you feature you're not ready to pay for.
