Good luck installing one though. Even the pixels are getting locked down, and more and more apps are simply refusing to run on custom or even rooted phones. My bank app won't even run if developer options are enabled.
There are an endless amount of ways to hide root on an app-by-app basis
You have to explicitly shop for an unlocked phone anymore. Xaiomi and oneplus are locking their new phones too nowadays.
OnePlus are merely limiting their Chinese (literally only China atm) users to 1 a month. Contrary to popular belief, I don't buy more than 12 phones in a year.
