Yeah. I guess I just don't get why allowing for the possibility of subsidized devices requires a locked down bootloader. If they are going for some sort of razor blades model then they would lose money every time somebody buys one and doesn't use their OS / shop at their App market, but people that do that are undoubtedly a miniscule minority. On the other hand, I guess because they are a miniscule minority then they aren't going to care about them... Meh, I don't know. I kind of get the feeling that they locked down the bootloader just because doing that is the "Cool thing to do"(tm) and didn't with the Pro only because it would be unprecedented for x86.
