What happens if you unlock the bootloader and what features do i loose?

Correct. It reads the security level as L3 and just downloads the content in 480p. I've tried this before and it was still just L3 and not L1
On older Oneplus Phones it is recovered by re-locking it (read here for example), haven't read any statements for the OP7, though I would assume it's the same.
If you need to ask this
Then don't do it! Non technical people shouldn't root as this isn't for beginners

Lmao! Come on now this isn't like back in the day where you entered line by line in adb.. They could also just want to unlock the bootloader to convert their tmo OP to an international and don't really care about root.
I remember those days, when there was a real chance of hard bricking a phone.
Thanks! But its only Netflix? Nothing will happen to my apps like Pokemon go, or bank apps? Jailbreak on iphone x made both unuseable because IT knew i was jailbreaked..
Plz dont be this person.
Im not a beginner at all, ive rooted and installed cutom roms since HTC desire/ Galaxy S2.
I only asked since i heard og this widevine making Netflix only stream 480p.

Yes! Back in the G1 days...I made the mistake of flashing the SPL and radio in the wrong order....RIP Google G1 :'( Lol! Luckily, warranty replaced it, no questions asked. I got the HTC Sensation two weeks later, anyway

A lot of banking apps won't work on rooted devices due to the security risk it poses to your accounts with those banks. I have also read that Pokémon Go also does not work on rotted devices. You will also lose Google Pay.
Isnt there some app like gearbox or something that can hide the detection in apps? I think i did this back in the day ?
Yes, you can just hide those apps using magisk hide in the magisk manager. It works with all banking apps, for me.
Aha, well then it doesnt do anything else for me.. i dont Even use Netflix on my phone ?

Thanks for the info, I didn't root my phone because I'm using those banking apps on a daily basis.

That's something unique to Samsung. No other manufacturer has the resources to develop something like Knox, they mostly rely on Google's SafetyNet, which is easily fooled.
Samsung works this way because they have "ultimate" security. Meaning one breach and you're done - it protects the average end user, which is about 99% of Samsung's customers. Also, some of the stuff (Samsung Pay, Secure Folder, just to name a few) depend on hardware trust, and since that hardware bit (Knox TPM) can be firmware upgraded, but the validity cannot be easily checked after it's been compromised once (i.e. rooted or flashed with any customized firmware), thus it simply doesn't work after.
OnePlus makes phones for enthusiasts, who hack their phones, and sometimes want to recover stock settings. So security is somewhat more lax.
In fact you only have to worry about irreversible damages by rooting correctly on Samsung phones. Any other manufacturer that allows BL unlocking will let you restore factory state 100%.2
