“Bootloader unlocked” means you can change the firmware on the device. Google sells it as a feature so you can replace the operating system. You can’t (not easily) unlock a pixel phone’s bootloader if you buy it from another retailer like Verizon.
It doesn’t come unlocked, the OS must go through attestation via Google’s proprietary servers connected to the Internet to actually unlock the bootloader.
lmao wut?
