    First age verification, mastercard and visa controlling what people purchase, and now this, there isn’t any good news lately.

    I’m on v7 and it’s also removed in that version. I blame it on Google’s efforts to enforce apps having that new Play store integrity bullshit.

      v7 in the EU, bootloader unlocking is still an option. Might be an EU thing.

      Where have you been the last 10 years? Very few devices have allowed bootloader unlocking, Samsung is no exception with their US market devices.

          OnePlus, and a couple other Chinese brands (so long as you jump through their hoops). I may be forgetting some.

    I thought that OEM unlocking was removed years ago? That’s why I’ve not bought Samsung phones since the mid-2010s.

    They had a thing that would blow a fuse if you unlocked your phone. Did they get rid of that for a while?

      they were not yet blocking it with knox, they were permanently tainting your device with it if you decided to assert your ownership rights
