I hear many people say that the Google Pixel is good for privacy, but is it?

I'm asking this because I find it weird, of all the companies, Google having the most “privacy”.

Ok, wall of text aside. Now I'm sure you're bsing. It's never been 2 months or even longer. Literally every Xiaomi or Poco is that you register and then you wait 1 week and then unlock with the pc. No weird ass wait times. You don't even have to use it. I have done this for like 8 models old and new already. The Mi unlock app doesn't even have software for other times.

Also the bootloader does display that it's unlocked. But even with a 'warning' most people wouldn't care and that's what Xiaomi still wants to prevent.
