OnePlus will limit bootloader unlocking, but it's not all bad news
www.androidauthority.com
OnePlus is placing new restrictions on bootloader unlocking for certain users starting its Android 16 update which arrives later this year.

“OnePlus has announced a new system that limits who can unlock the bootloader on their phones. Stating reasons such as “data security” and an enhanced “system stability” […]. OnePlus has introduced a new procedure where anyone wanting to unlock the bootloader on their devices must first fill out an online request form for “Deep Testing””.

Even if it is for one region, it is still enshitification preventing phones to have custom ROM 🤦‍♂️
