From my experience, this is not necessarily true, even when a phone is advertised as unlockable. I know that Huawei phones, for instance, had two different unlock modes. One called USER Lock, and the other FB Lock. The unlock codes given to users only applied to USER Lock, which means only some partitions could be modified (e.g. recovery could be modified, but fastboot was restricted). I'm not sure whether or not other brands have similar "protections" or not, but I wouldn't be surprised it this was the case due to DRM.
