After SafetyNet, unlockable bootloaders are quite useless, you instantly lose access to a bunch of apps. It's a no-go for many.

- vinay427 5y agoWhile you lose access to some apps if you switch to many unofficial ROMs not based on stock firmware, which is problematic as it's almost always unnecessary unless a device is rooted or obviously compromised, this is far from the only use for unlockable bootloaders. Flashing updates more rapidly, region changes, bloatware removal, and other use cases are still possible with unlocked bootloaders while preserving safety certifications.
