Because they are the only phones that allow relocking the bootloader with a custom ROM installed
I relocked my fairphone 5 with e/os, no problems what so ever
Fairphone is not a regular phone. It's a very expensive niche product. I meant only regular and modern phones
@rusty @GolfNovemberUniform So can’t I ungoogled an old Huawey?
Depends on the exact model but you'll most likely need a special unlock code which you can't get anymore unless you buy it on a questionable website. Huawei phones are not meant to be unlocked. Buy a used Xiaomi instead
@GolfNovemberUniform Ok, thanks. My idea was to use old phones discarded by relatives so I can’t choose the model. Well, I’ll wait until they rule out another more easily model
