This is not to stop the people who can download from a torrent (without getting sued into oblivion for copyright violations) and know how to install an OS. It's to stop the other 99%.

Many Android phones have unlockable bootloaders, and even fewer people know about this one. It's this difference between "can be done if you need and know how" and "burned into silicon so you're out of luck" that's very important. The latter is extremely dangerous as it completely strips the user of agency.
