Are there any devices that, by default/by design, allow the user to unlock the bootloader totally offline, no ransom, validation, account, internet or whatever required?

    Pixel is probably the best option, but it will still require online verification of the phone qualifies for being unlocked. (OEM lock greyed out in dev settings) After that it’s easy

      Sadly it’s still a dependence on a 3rd party.

      User over_clox commented here in the post that apparently a device known as Blu B131DL allows for the bootloader to be unlocked independently, so I’ll keep an eye for that.
