I'm totally fine w/ there being a disclaimer on bootloader unlocking, e.g: "Warning! Some security features of your device may not work properly w/ secure boot disabled. Visit foo.com/secure-boot to learn more." To a lesser extent I'm OK w/ bootloader unlocks voiding my warranty, esp. since many of these devices ship w/ permanent fuses whereby writing to the wrong MSRs may brick your device. After all that's how my Moto X (2013) worked: I needed a code from Motorola to unlock the bootloader, which in turn required agreeing to a warranty waiver.
What's not OK is having a permanently locked bootloader that guarantees my device will be useless after the carrier decides to stop delivering OTA updates in a year or two.
