sort of saying sad moment. most likely, i won't go back to android world. by android, it includes un-googled ones and phones with android bootloader and kernel. although un-googled android is sort of saying second best option, or less worse.
maybe i go technical basic phones with volte, but even those have some issues.
all listed phones have android partitioning and bootloader, thus manufacturer controls boot process, even if oem unlock is activated. bootloader is good in pinephone regular and pro, no manufacturer bootloader control.
android manufactures have signed boot, and it boots next phase from partition. if oem unlock is activated then unsigned boot is allowed, but not in first phases, only in later phases. basically manufacturer has ultimate control. and oem unlock is not total unlock anyway, it has some limitations. (there are sources for this but skipping this time).
