Samsung budget phones have unlockable bootloader too?

Yes. I do know that. Even I use a custom rom on a redmi phone

Not consistently and many don't have much support in the ROM market anymore.

It is not true, all Samsung phones have unlockable bootloaders except those bought in the USA on carrier.

It's more complicated than that, not always, and it invariably comes with restrictions.

Plus, the devices are pretty much just worse than Xiaomi's, so they don't get much attention from the ROM scene.
