Although this is obviously a step in the right direction it needs to be followed up with security updates, no point increasing the life of the hardware without doing the same for the software.

Making it illegal to lock bootloaders would make each device community-maintainable.

I hope you mean, always make it possible to unlock the bootloader offline (to not be dependent on them). There are good security reasons to have it locked by default.

Yes. No more of that unlock code nonsense. Even Fairphone has an online bootloader unlocking process. I hate it.
