Just think about how few Android devices have an open bootloader right now, there's no reason to think it'd be any different on larger hardware.

On the flip side, every Chromebook and Chromebox has a unlockable and open-spurce coreboot bootloader.

    I love their mechanism where one opens the device and removes a screw to unlock it. Very novel and honestly kind of fun.
