Nice find!
No DRM crap or anything that would cause some features to be lost (stopped working) after unlocking bootloader?
I'm Sony user btw and had already lost DRM and some of its features, including camera that didn't work on older ROM version XD

Know it's working!
Don't use fastmode/Fastmoded Mode, it has to be done with CMD and bootloader startet!

Hello, friends on the fifth floor
Before using FastBoot flash unlock, you need to open OEM lock in developer mode now. You can try my way and give me a reply on how to unlock normally. I am looking forward to your reply

Start CMD: adb reboot bootloader
then run
fastboot flashing unlock (for devices above 2015 y.)

If you still have this error, make sure if you have Correctly driver installed (must be Android bootloader interface) !!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy!!!

Bootloader can now be easily unlocked.​

Older get_identifier_token command is no more needed.

Instructions​

1. Download HTC_Driver_v4.17.0.001 and install the package.
2. Download Google USB Driver. ( For installation information, read Install a USB Driver) .

To install the Android USB driver on Windows 10/11 for the first time, do the following:

1. Connect your Android device to your computer's USB port.
2. From Windows Explorer ( Search ), open Computer Management.
3. In the Computer Management left pane, select Device Manager.
4. In the Device Manager right pane, locate and expand Portable Devices or Other Devices, depending on which one you see.
5. Right-click the name of the device you connected, and then select Update Driver Software.
6. In the Hardware Update wizard, select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next.
7. Click Browse and then locate the Google USB driver folder.

Connect your device to your computer and Backup device

( Get a complete backup of your contacts, messages, apps, and internal storage. Now usually, Enabling OEM unlock won’t erase the data on the device. But obviously, the eventual step after OEM unlock is bootloader unlocking, and that will wipe away everything on your device )

1. Download ADB. ( How to Install ADB on Windows, macOS, and Linux )
2. Enable OEM Unlocking
   • Open the settings on your phone.
   • Find the section that says “Developer options” and tap on it.
   • Scroll down till you find the option “OEM unlock”
   • Tap on it to turn the toggle on, and you are done.
   
   
3. Then simply run below command.
   

   adb devices

   adb reboot bootloader

   fastboot flashing unlock

   
   
4. Select "UNLOCK THE BOOTLODER" by volume key and press power button.
5. Done!

fastboot: error: Command failed

I've experienced error messages like this. OEM is unlocked in the developer mode, and the device is in bootloader also. Am I missed something?

Yes you have problems with fastboot on your PC.
Btw OEM unlock wiped my data just to heads up.
