    No now it does. Before you could unlock your bootloader and not wipe. Locking it has always required a wipe. Now both do for some reason.

      It’s so that someone else can’t unlock your bootloader and install malware. Like if you’re entering a country and they say “please unlock your phone” and they take it, they could unlock and replace the bootloader without you being able to tell.
