Does that really make such a difference? If the baseband and wifi require closed binary blobs which are cryptographically signed to a specific kernel version, what is the point of having an unlocked bootloader or installing alternative ROMs?

How common are blobs cryptographically signed to a specific kernel version?

My impression was that with AOSP running it's fairly easy to update the Android versions (the blobs can still contain vulnerabilies, of course).
