In what ways does having an unlocked bootloader make it easier for governments and (other) criminals to get into your device or data? Lots of people say "naaaaa it's not less secure, unlock your bootloader man... the data is ENCRYPTED" I know back in the day someone could just flash TWRP and delete the lockscreen! But now devices are encrypted and that can't be done anymore. I also experience that some security apps require root for their full features (Android Lost). But I'd think it'd be easier to inject some sort script or flash something to help them with trying to get into your device (like removing the unlock attempt limit like is done with iPhone). Luckily Oneplus can relock with custom ROM but most can't ) : .
If you wanna talk about specific devices, maybe talk about Xperia Z5 II and/or LG G8 Thinq. And whether it IS or ISN'T less secure, what can be done to BEST secure a device? Whether official or not.
