Correct me if I’m wrong but the base AOSP android rom allows bootloader unlocking by default. OEMs need to go out of their way to restrict it.

Also, most manufacturers consider the warranty void of the bootloader has been unlocked. There’s definitely no service (costs) for them on that front, and I’d be amazed if even 0.1% of all customers unlocked the bootloader (for it to be big enough to notice for any company).
