AFAIK you can't unlock bootloader without wiping the data, that's my experience from last 15 years unlocking bootloaders on various phones

so it's kinda pointless to wipe data prior wiping them again during the bootloader unlocking process

We're saying the same thing. The bootloader unlocking process includes a step that destroys the FDE key.
