And now just about every single android phone does the same thing. Even pixels are carrier locked. I have a 6A that I can’t root for 6 months.

I too have a 6A, and it's not carrier locked because I didn't get it from a carrier. Easy as that, really. Your carrier isn't Google's fault

The point being that even the “Google version” is subject to carrier enshitification, which casts a bad light on android as a whole compared to Apple, who has never compromised on their “take it or leave it” stance with regards to their vision and product in discussions with carriers.
