I want to mainly use it for privacy over its "security". I don't know what makes everyone fine with running it on fucking google pixels. Is there some kind of "low security" version or something for other phones? I'm so tired of certain organizations infiltrating privacy communities and making people believe in improving "security" by voluntarily giving up on privacy and using even non free software like that insecurities blog and other people.

Again, I've relocked multiple phones with custom ROMs. If you choose to believe everything you're told, keep being blue eyed.

Additionally, relockable bootloader ≠ full verified boot, but i doubt you even know what that means.

your personal experience from 20 years ago is irrelevant. its not possible today. tell me a phone where it is.
