I was genuinely thinking about going with an ASUS phone next because of the unlockable bootloader, this really sucks to see.

There are plenty of makers doing unlockable bootloaders. Honestly, just avoid Samsung.

My EU S9+ (Exynos chip) is running a custom Android 13 rom without flaws. A lot of Samsung phones can be unlocked. Seems US models (Snapdragon) are the ones that can’t be unlocked, few exceptions. Most other countries have the Exynos chipset and are perfectly unlockable.
