It's not the only device you can relock the bootloader. I am typing from a Fairphone using e/os with a bootloader I locked after installing it.
I don't cut corners on my morals, so will never give money to google. Even indirectly by buying second hand and making their phones more attractive to buy.

Ah I see that they have decided to support it now with the fairphone 4 which is awesome. Before that you had to use google test keys to do it. It still lacks a secure element which is pretty important for security and privacy. It also lags behind on security updates. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44375865 That's a good discussion about it. I respect not giving money to google though but I can't cut corners on security even if it means I have to go into the belly of the beast myself. I'll be very relieved when the Motorola GOS phone drops
