  Whoa. Thanks for the comment, I was looking at Xiaomi for my next phone. Guess I'll have to be careful about which one I buy.

    Xiaomi has a process to request unlock codes, which takes between 3-21 days, and they say it's to protect against malware from sellers. And some users say they already recieved unlock codes. So maybe it's reasonable. But it's new , it still requires followup.
