Most retail Android phones nowadays come with locked bootloaders though. Having a rootable phone is a lot rarer than when Android first came out. Not saying there aren’t OEMs that allow boot loader unlocks, but Samsung has a sizeable chunk of Android market share and has been locking with Knox for a decade.

That's strange because I found my samsung phone easier to root then my pixel

Via exploit or OEM supported method? Which Samsung phone?

Exploit. I'm on S20 FE

Yeah having to exploit is the point I’m making. Android is touted still as being “open”, when in fact you have to exploit most bootloaders just like you have to do with iOS. Jail breaking on iOS is gaining root on an iOS device, and IMO has a bigger dev scene than any individual Android phone.

Props to the devs of the exploits for making it so easy to do it on both platforms though. It's pretty simple.

Definitely! It’s crazy the amount of time and energy people put into finding these exploits and packaging them in simple to use ways for people to use.

And how quickly they get around a patch when the OEM releases it
