I disagree that they are shitty... hardware and software is great. Their ethical standards maybe not. Besides, if you want to install custom roms just get a phone that is supported officially (e.g. Pixel). I don't care about custom rom scene so it doesn't bother me that the bootlocker is locked. Though it was definitely a nice to have while it still existed.

You don't care about custom ROM scene, but by purchasing Huawei's products when you have plenty of other highly-competitive choices, you are supporting their ethical standards. And thus by proxy you are declaring your support for locked-down hardware and black-box software. As long as you are totally aware and recognize that you do not support the principles of free computing, and that you support companies asserting ownership rights over something after you have purchased it, then I have no problem with your reply. There is no hostile intent with this comment, but I do wonder if you understand what you are saying, when you say that you realize their ethical standards are not great, but you continue to buy their products because it currently does not affect you, despite having plenty of excellent alternatives in this market. Incidentally, I think you have a cool username.
