even if the bootloaders are unlocked, you usually still face an issue with all those non-open drivers to make the phone work right. One annoying example is how Sony's Xperia phones can have their bootloaders unlocked, but Sony keeps the secret sauce behind their image sensor's software locked up in a proprietary, inaccessible blob that (IIRC) other ROM makers have been unable to integrate into their Xperia builds. If Nexbit is not only unlocking the bootloader but providing the hw drivers as open source, that could be a bigger deal.
