Ok so apparently this happened and root is out of the option now

PSA: don’t buy it if you need root. Their unlock servers are shut down and moderators proactively delete topics with questions about it. -u/rngesius

Yeah it really sucks. I really hope Sony doesn’t follow the same way.

Idk about that. It seems like they aren’t allowing people to unlock it and more or less lied to people.
