How to enable OEM unlocking on Samsung Galaxy S23

[drm00nr0ck]

I'm trying to root my phone and I'm using this guide to help me, and I have gotten as far as enabling developer options in the settings but I see no option to enable OEM unlocking. A screenshot is included to show how I don't see the option. If someone could explain to me what I'm supposed to do to fix this problem or simply enable it a different way that would be great.

In case you need to know, I'm running Android Version 13. Thanks in advance!

What model number is your device? Did you purchase it through a carrier, and if so which one? What is your region?

The model name is SM-S918U. I got it at a Verizon store. The region that I live and purchased the phone in is New York City.

I followed the guide and extracted the two zip files that the instructions gave me, however I don't understand what to do in the command prompt or power shell Windows once they have been extracted. I connected my computer to my phone and opened the command prompt, and when I type "adb devices" it doesn't recognize the command. I'm pretty sure I must be doing this wrong and it told me to click on blank space and hit the shift key while doing it so I can open either command prompt or power shell and I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. If you could clarify this step for me that would be great!

It's a Snapdragon device, so the bootloader is not unlockable. Sorry.
